Study Notes

Telling the Time in English

Time is expressed using a combination of numbers and words.
Analog clocks use hands to show the time. Digital clocks show the time in numbers.
Commonly used terms to express time include "o'clock," "past," "to," "and," "minutes," "half," and "quarter."

Reading Digital Time

Digital clocks display the time using numbers.
The time is usually shown in hours and minutes.
For example, "3:15" is read as "three fifteen."
It is important to be able to distinguish between hours and minutes to correctly express and read the digital time.

Expressing Time in Words

"O'clock" is used to express the full hour. For example, "It's three o'clock."
"Past" is used when the minutes are after the hour. For example, "It's five past three."
"To" is used when the minutes are before the hour. For example, "It's twenty-five to four."
"Half past" or "half" is used to express 30 minutes after the hour. For example, "It's half past three."
"Quarter past" or "quarter" is used to express 15 minutes after the hour. For example, "It's a quarter past three."
"Quarter to" is used to express 15 minutes before the hour. For example, "It's a quarter to four."
For minutes between an hour and the next hour, the use of "past" (after the hour) and "to" (before the hour) are used for expressions. (E.g., "It's twenty-five past three", "It's five to four")
Knowing the specific minute value is important in giving the precise and proper expression of time. (E.g., "It's twenty-five minutes past four")
Expressions like "five past three" and "25 past three" are generally interchangeable but "ten past five" is different from "10 past five"
Numbers for minutes (one to fifty-nine) are typically used after the hour. (e.g., "It's twenty-seven minutes past eleven")

Specific Considerations

Using "minutes past" or "minutes to" for all times ensures accuracy and clarity.
Expressing time with the complete hour and minute is the most precise way to express the time.
Common expressions should be memorized, such as "o'clock," "past," "to," "half," and "quarter."
Practice reading and expressing different times to improve fluency and comprehension.
