Use/function
Telling time is essential for our daily life.
It helps us to schedule events, make appointments and be in the correct place at pre-designated times.
There are many rules for telling time in English. This lesson will focus on reading a manual clock in a standardized way. Next week’s lesson will focus on special rules and exceptions for telling time.
Reading a manual clock:
The clock is divided into 12 hours, each hour has 5-minute intervals.
The short hand shows the hour, the long hand shows the minutes.
So, by looking at the position of the two hands we can determine the hour and minute.
Hours (1 to 12)
Minutes (0 to 59)
The hours on a clock are read with the word o’clock after the hour if it is the hour exactly (0 minutes).
Examples:
1:00 - One o’clock
2:00 - Two o’clock
3:00 - Three o’clock
Times in the morning (before 12 PM, noon/midday) can be referred to as AM.
Times in the afternoon (12 PM- 12 AM) can be referred to as PM.
You can use o’clock or AM/PM but not together!�1 AM (correct). 1 o’clock AM (incorrect)
More rules about telling time:
There are two acceptable ways to express a combination of hours and minutes when reading a clock:
Examples:
4:56 (four, fifty-six)
10:22 (ten, twenty-two)
7:33 (seven, thirty three)
Examples:
11:12 (twelve past eleven)
2:27 (twenty seven past two)
4:08 (eight past four)
Examples:
5:50 (ten to six)
7:43 (seventeen to eight)
9:33 (twenty seven to ten)
