telling time (what time is it?)

British style:
"past" menyatakan "lewat/lebih"
"to" menyatakan "kurang"
a half : setengah (30 menit)
a quarter: seperempat (15 menit)
untuk yang lainnya sesuai aturan angka "ten" untuk sepuluh, "five" untuk lima.
catatan:
kelebihan menit diletakkan didepan.
contoh:
05:00 (it is five oclock)
07:00 (it is seven o'clock)
06:30 (it is a half past six/ a half to seven )
12:15 (it is a quarter past twelve)
12:45 (it is a quarter to twelve)
01:10 (it is ten past one)
02:05 (it is five past two)
11:50 (it is ten to twelve)

American style:
tidak usah "past" atau "to", lebih sederhana.
contoh:
05:00 (it is five oclock)
07:00 (it is seven o'clock)
06:30 (it is a six thirty)
12:15 (it is twelve fifteen)
12:45 (it is twelve fourty five)
01:10 (it is one ten)
02:05 (it is two five)
11:50 (it is eleven fifteen)
