Language Note. Telling the Time

1. In conversation, we use past. (Am. English: after) and to (Am. English: of)

5:20 twenty past five (Am. English: twenty after five)

5:50 ten to six (Am. English: ten of six)

For 30 minutes past the hour, we say half past.

5:30 half past five

For 15 and 45 minutes, we use a quarter.

5:15 a quarter past five (Am. English: a quarter after five)

5:45 a quarter to six (Am. English: a quarter of six)

2. More formally, we use figures only (without past and to, half and quarter).

5:05 five oh five

5:15 five fifteen

5:45 five forty five

5:50 five fifty

With this 12-hour form, we use a.m. for morning and p.m. for afternoon.

Breakfast is served between 7.00 a.m. and 9.00 a.m.

The office closes at 5:30 p.m.

3. For itineraries and timetables, we often use the 24-hour clock.

5:20 p.m. = 17:20 (seventeen twenty)

5:45 a.m. = 05:45 (five forty- five)
