PREPOSITIONS OF TIME

• We use at for times: My English class is at ten.

• We use from ... to for length of time: My son’s class is from seven to nine thirty.

TIPS!

a.m. = 0.00-12.00

midday/noon = 12.00

p.m. = 12.00-24.00

midnight = 24.00

Lesson 04 - Telling the time

1.00 = one o’clock
1.05 = five past one
1.10 = ten past one
1.15 = quarter past one
1.20 = twenty past one
1.25 = twenty-five past one
1.30 = half past one
1.35 = twenty-five to two
1.40 = twenty to two
1.45 = quarter to two
1.50 = ten to two
1.55 = five to two

TIPS!

• We can say quarter past/to six or a quarter past/to six. We don’t say fifteen past six. For other times, we say minutes: nineteen minutes past six NOT nineteen past six.

• We can also say the time like this: six fifteen, two thirty, ten forty, six nineteen, etc. But for 6.05 we say: six oh five NOT six five.

• In American English, 10.05 = five after ten.
