The main goal of this paper is to develop subequation method for solving nonlinear evolution equations of time-fractional order. We use the subequation method to calculate the exact solutions of the time-fractional Burgers, Sharma–Tasso–Olver, and Fisher's equations. Consequently, we establish some new exact solutions for these equations.
