Several time expressions in English

Direct representation of time: time is expressed in the order of several minutes. (This is the simplest) For example:

Eight o'clock-eight o'clock; Five twenty-five twenty

2 Add prepositional symbols

If the score is less than or equal to 30, it is represented by the past, and the structure is "minutes+past+this hour"; If the minute is greater than 30, it is represented by to, and the structure is "minute +to+ next o'clock"

For example:

12: 05 ——/kloc-5 minutes past 0/2.

Nine fifty-ten to ten.

Eight forty-twenty to nine.

Tips: In the second representation, if the minute is 15, one quarter is generally used instead of one fifth; If the minute is 30, 30 is usually replaced by half. For example:

9:15-9: 15

1 1: 30 —— I only remember a few examples in half a post.

2: 45-quarter to 3: 00
