dja65/iStock/Getty Images Plus by Liz Walter Talking about time is a very basic skill, but one that can often cause problems, especially if your main language thinks about time in a different way. Firstly, if you want to know the time, what question do you need to ask? Well, if you are sure that the person you are asking knows the answer, you can simply say What time is it? or What’s the time? this is less common in US English. However, if you are not sure if they know, for example if you want to ask a stranger on a train or in the street, you can say Excuse me, do you have the time, please? or in UK English Have you got the time, please? There are of course, various methods of telling the time the 24-hour clock, the 12-hour clock and the old-fashioned way, using a round clock with hands. In general, we only tend to use the 24-hour clock system for timetables UK / schedules US. For instance, we can say that a train leaves at 2015 twenty fifteen. In the US, use of the 24-hour clock even for timetables is not common. In more general speech, many of us move between a 12-hour clock and the more old-fashioned system we use for clocks with hands. With both systems, we say o’clock for whole hours 300 three o’clock. With the 12-hour clock, we may say the numbers for other times 323 three twenty-three / 745 seven forty-five. However, it is also common to convert 12-hour times into their old-fashioned equivalents, especially for units of 15 or 30 minutes, for example saying half past five for 530 half past is much less common in US English. Be aware that – unlike some other languages such as German – we relate half hours to the hour before, not the next hour. There are some other differences between UK and US English. For instance, for 415, both say four fifteen; both could also say a quarter past four but this is less common for Americans, and Americans more frequently say a quarter after four. Just to make things more complicated, for 845, both can say eight forty-five or a quarter to nine; Americans can also say a quarter of nine, but this is less common. For times between one and twenty-nine minutes after the hour, UK English uses past and US English after although past is also sometimes used in US English. So 520 is five twenty UK and US, twenty past five mostly UK or twenty after five US. And for times between thirty-one and fifty-nine minutes after the hour, UK and US English use to and US English sometimes uses of. So 740 is seven forty or twenty to eight UK and US, or twenty of eight US. In formal contexts, we use and to specify whether a time is before or after midday mostly UK / noon mostly US 400 four note that you shouldn’t say o’clock’ with these abbreviations. In more informal speech, we say, four o’clock in the morning/afternoon, seven o’clock in the evening or eleven thirty at night. And while we’re on the subject of time, did you know that time’ is the most commonly used noun in English? Next month I’ll be looking at some common phrases containing this word.

Se vocĂȘ sempre precisa perguntar as horas para outras pessoas, Ă© interessante que vocĂȘ tambĂ©m saiba este passo tĂŁo importante para otimizar seu nĂ­vel de inglĂȘs. Mas antes, saiba algumas palavras que sĂŁo utilizadas para medir o tempo e que serĂŁo utilizadas durante seu aprendizado Hour – Hora Minute – Minuto Second – Segundo Como perguntar as horas em inglĂȘs Se vocĂȘ estĂĄ sem um relĂłgio no momento e a Ășnica saĂ­da para saber as horas Ă© perguntar para alguĂ©m, estas sĂŁo as maneiras mais comuns para tirar sua dĂșvida What time is it? – Que horas sĂŁo? What’s the time? – Qual Ă© a hora? Have you got the time? – VocĂȘ tem horas? Could you tell me the time? – Poderia me dizer as horas? Para aprender como falar as horas, vocĂȘ precisa saber o vocabulĂĄrio dos nĂșmeros em inglĂȘs.

Existem duas maneiras de falar as horas e os minutos em inglĂȘs. A primeira e mais fĂĄcil Ă© simplesmente dizer os nĂșmeros para as horas e minutos. Veja o exemplo 210 – It’s two ten 812 – It’s eight twelve 515 – It’s five fifteen 1130 – It’s eleven thirty No inglĂȘs, usamos algumas expressĂ”es como past, to, half e a quarter para expressarmos os minutos. Nos primeiros 30 minutos, dizemos past para expressar que os minutos se passaram de uma determinada hora. TambĂ©m usamos half para dizer “meia hora” e a quarter para cada quinze minutos. Confira o exemplo 215 – It’s a quarter past two. 720 – It’s twenty past seven. 1025 – It’s twenty-five past ten. 530 – It’s half past five. Outra construção de frase comum Ă© uma que utilizamos tambĂ©m no portuguĂȘs quando queremos dizer que “falta para”, utilizamos o to. Veja 240 – It’s twenty to three. 745 – It’s a quarter to eight. 850 – It’s ten to nine. 655 – It’s five to seven.

Seeexamples of At half past eight. Real sentences showing how to use At half past eight correctly.

1 Hi, Here are the last paragraph of chapter two, Lady Chatterley's Lover "Time went on. Whatever happened, nothing happened, because she was so beautifully out of contact. She and Clifford lived in their ideas and his books. She entertained. . .there were always people in the house. Time went on as the clock does, half past eight instead of half past seven." For "half past eight instead of half past seven", the Chinese version is "after 7 o'clock, it's 8 o'clock. After 8 o'clock,what time is it?" But I feel it's not that complicated. It just means "half past eight replacing half past seven", which describes how time goes. Am I right? Thank you in advance 2 But I feel it's not that complicated. It just means "half past eight replacing half past seven", which describes how time goes. Am I right? Yes. 4 You cannot understand half past eight instead of half past seven. unless i you know when Lady Chatterley's Lover was written and iithe variability of sunrise and sunset in the UK. iii When British Summer Time was instigated i Lady Chatterley's Lover was published in 1928. ii Today, in London, the sun rose at 0800 GMT and will set at 1531 GMT. In June the sun will rise at 0440 and set at 2121 iii Before 1916, the time in Great Britain was Greenwich Mean Time for all of the year. In 1916, in an attempt to obtain more benefit from natural daylight during the working day, the government ordered that, each year, all clocks were to be set forward by one hour when summer came, and would revert to GMT in the late autumn. This new time is known as British Summer Time. The process of doing this is called "putting the clocks on.", and we say, "The clocks go on in March." This is what Lawrence is referring to, and he uses a small pun. Time went on = time passed relentlessly. Time went on = the clocks were advanced by an hour. Hence the time was 0830 rather than 0730. This is also seen as an inevitable event that marks the passage of the year/time. 5 You cannot understand half past eight instead of half past seven. unless i you know when Lady Chatterley's Lover was written and iithe variability of sunrise and sunset in the UK. iii When British Summer Time was instigated The process of doing this is called "putting the clocks on.", and we say, "The clocks go on in March."

It would seem that you also can't understand it unless you know that BE uses the expression "putting the clocks on" for what we'd call "moving the clocks ahead". We have what we call "daylight savings time" here as well, but we'd never refer to it as "putting the clocks on" or say "the clocks go on in March." Who knows what else may have escaped me back when I read Lady Chatterly's Lover?
