Menyatakan waktu dalam Bahasa Inggris tidaklah sesukar yang kita bayangkan. Ingat saja aturan main seperti dijelaskan di bawah ini:
Bentuk Pertanyaan
Bentuk Pertanyaan
- What Time is it? (Jam Berapa Sekarang?)
- 7:00 = It's seven o'clock
= It's seven p.m.
= It's seven a.m.
- 12:00 = It's twelve o'clock
= It's noon / midnight
- 08:10 = It's ten (minutes) past eight
= It's eight ten
= It's ten after eight
- 08:50 = It's ten to nine
= It's eight fifty
= It's ten before nine
- 08:15 = It's a quarter past eight
- 08:45 = It's a quarter to nine
- 08:07 = It's seven minutes past eight
- Untuk menyatakan waktu/jam, ucapkan menit dulu baru kemudian jam
- Jika bilangan menitnya lewat dari 30, maka gunakan to atau before.
- Pengunaan after dan before adalah cara American English.
- Untuk cara yang paling mudah, gunakan saja cara bahasa Indonesia, contoh pukul 09:20 (nine twenty).
