Here are several different ways to talk about the time!
What time is it?
It is 5 o’clock.
OR
It’s 5.
Use o’clock to a time that is on the hour. Remember that if you want to clarify in the morning or at night, AM or PM goes after o’clock.
Ex: It is 6 o’clock PM. (Afternoon)
It is 8 o’clock AM. (Morning)
What about other times?
There are two ways to say 3:40.
- It’s three forty.
- It’s twenty to three.
Check out this chart to help you describe more times:
6:05 | Six oh five | Five minutes past six |
3:15 | Three fifteen | A quarter past three |
4:30 | Four thirty | Half-past four |
12:45 | Twelve forty-five | A quarter to one |
Bonus: These two times can also be said in another way!
12:00 AM = midnight
12:00 PM = noon
