Study this note *How to tell the time*

Bagaimana cara menyatakan waktu

1. untuk menyatakan waktu dapat kita gunakan ungkapan :
a. o’clock = bila jarum panjang tepat di angka 12
contoh : 03.00 = it is three o’clock (ini pukul 3 tepat)

b. a quarter = bila jarum panjang berada di angka 3 dan 9

contoh :
6.15 = it is a quarter past six ( ini pukul 6 lebih 15 menit)
12.45 = it is a quarter to one ( ini pukul 1 kurang 15 menit)

c. a half = bila jarum panjang berada teoat di angka 6

contoh :
11.30 = it is a half past eleven ( ini pukul 11 lebih 30 menit)

d. jika jarum panjang berada di angka sebelum 6 menggunakan past

contoh :
4.12 = it is twelve past four
3.15 = it is a quarter past three

e. jika jarum panjang berada di angka setelah 6 menggunakan to

contoh :
2.40 = it is twenty to three

penggunaan to(kurang) berbeda dengan yang lain, cara

membaca nya yaitu : menitnya dikurangi dengan 60 kemudian jamnya bertambah 1 jam.
Misal : 01.45 = untuk menit , 60 - 45 = 15
Untuk jam , 01 + 1 = 02 Jadi , 01.45 = it is a quarter to two
