1 There are three different ways of telling the time.
2 We can say, for example, three fifteen (3:15).
3 Or we can say a quarter past three (3:15).
4 We can also say zero 2 three fifteen hours (03:15).
5 That’s if it is 3:15 am.
6 If it is 3:15 pm, we say fifteen fifteen hours (15:15).
7 We call that the 24-hour clock.
8 If it is 3:45, we can say that.
9 Or we can say a quarter to four (3:45).
10 3:35 becomes twenty-five to four.
11 We can say five past three (3:05).
12 We can’t say six past three (3:06).
13 We must say six minutes past three (3:06).
14 If it is not 5, 10, 20, 25, 35, 40, 50 or 55, then we must add minutes.
15 But it really doesn’t matter which we use if others 3 understand us.
