You want to use Offset
=offset(a2,1,0,1,1)

return the cell offset by 1 row and 0 columns with a size of height of 1 and
a width of 1

Your formula is simply adding 1 to A2 so the result isn't surprising, if you
want to have morning in A4 then simply put =A3 in cell A4

i want to add to the formula not to the result, FOR EXAMPLE: A2+1= A3 (2+1=3)

it´s an example to show what i´m tring to do, and not my objective
