Telling the Time

2. The 12-Hour Clock and AM/PM

  • The 12-hour clock divides the day into two sections: from midnight to noon (a.m.) and from noon to midnight (p.m.).
  • To differentiate morning and evening, we use “a.m.” (ante meridiem) for hours before noon and “p.m.” (post meridiem) for hours after noon.
  • Example: 11:20 a.m. is read as “eleven twenty a.m.”

3. Describing Exact Time in Minutes

  • Start by stating the hour: “It’s [hour] o’clock.”
  • For minutes past the hour (up to 30 minutes), use “past”: “It’s [minutes] past [hour].”
  • For minutes beyond the half hour, use “to”: “It’s [minutes] to [next hour].”

4. Common Phrases Using ‘Time’

  • “Time flies when you’re having fun.”
  • “Better late than never.”
  • “Killing time.”
  • “In the nick of time.”
  • “Time heals all wounds.”

Remember, practice makes perfect! Keep using these expressions, and soon telling time in English will become second nature. ????️????
