3. Review Grammar: Time

There are two common ways of telling the time.

1) Say the hour first and then the minutes. (Hour + Minutes)

  • 6:25 - It's six twenty-five
  • 8:05 - It's eight O-five (the O is said like the letter O)
  • 9:11 - It's nine eleven
  • 2:34 - It's two thirty-four


2) Say the minutes first and then the hour.  (Minutes + PAST / TO + Hour)

For minutes 1-30 we use PAST after the minutes.

For minutes 31-59 we use TO after the minutes.

  • 2:35 - It's twenty-five to three
  • 11:20 - It's twenty past eleven
  • 4:18 - It's eighteen past four
  • 8:51 - It's nine to nine
  • 2:59 - It's one to three


When it is 15 minutes past the hour we normally say: (a) quarter past

  • 7:15 - It's (a) quarter past seven

When it is 15 minutes before the hour we normally say: a quarter to

  • 12:45 - It's (a) quarter to one

When it is 30 minutes past the hour we normally say: half past

  • 3:30 - It's half past three (but we can also say three-thirty)
