Telling Time

Telling Time
1.
Telling time can be
done 3 ways:
▪ By using the figures/ numbers only
▪ By using 24hours format
▪ By Using “past” and “to”

3
By using figures:
Just say the numbers that you see:
- 4.45 = four forty five
- 5.20 = five twenty
- 10.17 = ten seventeen
- 8.30 = eight thirty

Only use 12hours format if you want to use this style.


AM = 12 after midnight – 12 at noon
PM = 12 in the afternoon – 12 midnight
Use o’ clock if it is exact time (Jika tepat pada jam tertentu, tidak
kurang, tidak lebih). For example: 06.00 = six o’ clock, 11.00 = eleven o’
clock 4
For example:

- 4.45 AM = four forty five AM (Jam empat empat puluh lima pagi)
- 4.45 PM = four forty five PM (Jam empat empat puluh lima sore)
- 10.17 AM = ten seventeen AM (Jam sepuluh tujuh belas pagi)
- 10.17 PM = ten seventeen PM (Jam sepuluh tujuh belas malam)

5
By using 24 hours format:
Just like what we do in the previous explanation. But, this time
without AM or PM. Just the numbers.

- 14.55 = fourteen fifty five


- 02.36 = two thirty six

However, we only use this style if we talk about travel timetable (jadwal
perjalanan)

6
By using “past” & “to”:
Here terms you have to remember:
- Past = lebih
- To = kurang
- 30 minutes = half
- 15 minutes = quarter
- You tell time backwards (baca jamnya dari belakang/ menit dulu)
- If the minutes is in 1 – 30, use past
Example: 6.30 = half past six
8.25 = twenty five past eight
1.10 = ten past one
6.04 = four past six
7
- If the minutes is in 31 – 60, use to , and add 1 to the clock figure (ketika
menggunakan to, di bagian jam angkanya ditambah 1)
Example: 6.31 = twenty nine to seven
(twenty nine berasal dari 60 menit dikurangi 31. seven berasal dari jam 6 ditambah 1)
8.45 = quarter to nine
11.50 = ten to twelve
9.35 = twenty five to ten
Now, try to tell the following time as your exercise:
- 7.16 - 8.42 - 5.18 - 6. 17
- 9. 56 - 3.45 - 8. 37 - 6. 59
- 10. 42 - 11.15 - 12. 00 - 8. 40
- 10.40 - 3.49 - 4.10 - 4.46
