A. Introduction
1. Short Description
In this teaching material, we are going to discuss the expressions or ways to say
the time correctly as well as the way to asking the time. Literally, there are two
ways to tell time, namely British and American styles. In British style, the minutes
are pronounced first followed by the hours. For example, 08.25 is read as twenty-
five past eight, twenty-five is the minute, and eight is the hour. Besides that, in
British style there are also several rules in saying the time, namely: saying the
15th minute with the word “Quarter”, saying the 30th minute with the word
“Half” or rather “Half past”, saying the first 30 minutes with the word “Past”, and
use “To” for the remaining 30 minutes. While in American style, the hours are
stated first, followed by the minutes. For example, 08.25 is read as eight-twenty-
five. This teaching material will also discuss the differences between a.m. (ante
meridiem) and p.m. (post meridiem).
