    There are two common ways to tell time in English. The first is to say the hour followed by the minutes, such as "six twenty-five" or "eight O-five." The second is to say the minutes followed by "past" or "to" and the next hour, such as "twenty-five to three" or "nine to nine." Telling the time in English depends on whether you say the hour first followed by minutes, or the minutes first followed by "past" or "to" and the next hour.

    TELLING THE TIME

    How to ask the time in English?

    Here’s where your presentation begins


    There are two common ways of telling the time.

    1) Say the hour first and then the minutes. (Hour +


    Minutes)

    6:25 - It's six twenty-five


    8:05 - It's eight O-five (the O is said like the letter O)
    9:11 - It's nine eleven
    2:34 - It's two thirty-four
    2) Say the minutes first and then the hour. (Minutes + PAST / TO +
    Hour)

    For minutes 1-30 we use PAST after the minutes.

    For minutes 31-59 we use TO after the minutes.

    2:35 - It's twenty-five to three


    11:20 - It's twenty past eleven
