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.
