Its on the left hand side. (How to tell Time & Date ?) The easiest way to tell someone the time is to use a digital format. For example, when someone asks you what time it is, you can say, Its 5:30. Instead of, Its half past five. Its 5:13. = (five thirteen) orIts 5:02. (five o two)*or Its 5:50. (five fifty) *Note: 0 is pronounced O not zero. Important vocabulary oclock = :00 ( 7:00 = seven oclock ) a quarter after = 15 minutes after the hour ( 3:15 = Its a quarter a quarter past = 15 minutes after the hour (3:15 = Its a quarter a quarter before = 15 minutes before the hour( 3:45 = Its a quarter a quarter to = 15 minutes before the hour (3:45 = Its a quarter to half past = 30 minutes after the hour ( 11:30 = Its half past thirty = 30 minutes after the hour. (11:30 = Its eleven thirty.) Giving the Date Theres a difference between day and date day: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, etc. date:june 6 When someone asks you the date, its not necessary to give the year. Whats the date? ----> Its June 6. (Not Its June 6, 2005) Make sure you use ordinal numbers when you say the date. You can listen to the way I say the date every day on my blog. When someone asks about time in the future or the past, use the year. When were you born? ----> March 25, 1965 When did you arrive in the U.S.? ----> In 2002. When is the next election? ----> In November.
