There are two common ways of telling the time.
- We say the
[hour|minutes]
first and then the
[hour|minutes]:- 8:10 = It's eight ten.
- 5:30 = It's five thirty.
- 6:45 = It's six forty-five.
- 4:05 = It's fourohfive.
- We say the
[hour|minutes]
first, then add
["past"/"to"|"after"/"before"]
and the
[hour|minutes]:- 8:10 = It's tenpasteight.
- 5:30 = It's halfpastfive.
- 6:45 = It's a quartertoseven.
- 4:05 = It's fivepastfour.
- We use
["past"|"after"]
to say how many minutes have passed after the given hour (from 1 to 30 minutes). - We use
["before"|"to"]
to say how many minutes are left till the next hour (from 31 to 59 minutes).
