TELLING TIME

• DO YOU USE AM AND PM WHEN YOU TELL TIME IN YOUR COUNTRY?

• HOW COMFORTABLE ARE YOU WITH TIME ZONES?
TELLING TIME

 We don’t usually use the 24-hour clock to read time in English. Instead,
we use AM/PM or in the morning, afternoon, evening, or at night
 Example: 6PM, 4 in the afternoon,

 You can also use the following expressions when referring to another time
zone: Ahead/behind by x hours A day ahead, minus x hours A day behind,
plus x hours etc.
 Example: Japan is ahead by 13 hours. So, New York is a day behind, minus 1
hour. And just change AM to PM.
