Hi Class..!!! How are you today? Great..!!?? Meet me again, Mr. Nashrudin. Di tahun ajaran baru ini, Mr tidak lagi di Kelas 6 tapi diamanahi ngajar English level 5. But it`s same like two years ago. Right langsung saja my students, di Buku Our Discovery Island 5 Unit 1 : Friends ada salah satu materi terkait How to read o`clock alias bagaimana cara membaca jam di dalam Bahasa Inggris. So, kali ini Mr akan memberi sedikit penjelasan mengenai itu. Are you ready?? Good..!!
There two how to tell TIME in English:
Formal but Easier
The first one is Say the hours first and then the minutes.
For example : 06.15 ---- It`s six fifteen
07.45 ---- It`s seven forty five
For minutes 01 through 09, you can pronounce the '0' as oh.
10.05 ---- It`s ten (oh) five
12.07 ---- It`s twelve (oh) seven
Tapi kita kali ini menggunakan cara yang ke-2 alias More Popular Way, berikut;
Note :
- Jika jarum panjang terletak di separuh bagian kiri lingkaran jam, maka memakai kata "TO" / kurang.
- Jika jarum panjang terletak di separuh bagian kanan lingkaran jam, maka memakai kata "PAST" / Lebih.
More Popular Way
Say the minutes first and then the hours. Use past and the preceding hour for minutes 01 through 30. Use to and the forthcoming hour for minutes 31 through 59
For example : 06.15 ---- It`s fifteen past six
07.45 ---- It`s fifteen to eight
08.10 ---- It`s ten past eight
12.20 ---- It`s twenty past twelve
05.40 ---- It`s twenty to six
NOTE : 15` = a quarter
30` = a half
For example : 05.15 ---- It`s a quarter past five
09.30 ---- It`s a half past nine / It`s a half to ten
10.45 ---- It`s a quarter to eleven
NOTE : Use o'clock only at the full hour
For example : 04.00 ---- It`s four o`clock
05.00 ---- It`s five o`clock
09.00 ---- It`s nine o`clock
