The First Christmas, Nativity, Past Simple A1

What time is it? Explanation

There are two common ways of telling the time.



Formal but easier way

Say the hours first and then the minutes.



Example: 7:45 - seven forty-five



For minutes 01 through 09, you can pronounce the '0' as oh.



Example: 11:06 - eleven (oh) six



More popular way

Say the minutes first and then the hours. Use past and the preceding hour for minutes 01 through 30. Use to and the forthcoming hour for minutes 31 through 59, but .



Example 1: 7.15 - fifteen minutes past seven



Example 2 : 7.45 - fifteen minutes to eight



Another possibility of saying '15 minutes past' is: a quarter past



Another possibility of saying '15 minutes to' is: a quarter to



Another possibility of saying '30 minutes past' is: half past A good source to practice vocabulary on daily routines and time.Note

Use o'clock only at the full hour.



Example: 7:00 - seven o'clock (but 7:10 - ten past seven)



In English ordinary speech, the twelve-hour clock is used.(i)



Beispiel: 17:20 - twenty past five



For times around midnight or midday you can use the expressions midnight or midday / noon instead of the number 12.



Beispiel: 00:00 - midnight



Beispiel: 12:00 - midday or noon



To make clear (where necessary) whether you mean a time before 12 o'clock noon or after, you can use in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, at night. Use in the morning before 12 o'clock noon, after 12 o'clock noon use in the afternoon. When to change from afternoon to evening, from evening to night and from night to morning depends on your sense of time.



Example: 3:15 - a quarter past three in the morning OR a quarter past three at night



More formal expressions to indicate whether a time is before noon or after are a.m. (also: am - ante meridiem, before noon) and p.m. (also: pm - post meridiem, after noon). Use these expression only with the formal way of telling the time.   in English.
