Asking for the Time
The common question forms we use to ask for the time
right now are:
• What time is it?
• What is the time?
A more polite way to ask for the time, especially from a
stranger is:
• Could you tell me
the time please?
The common question forms we use to ask at what time a
specific event will happen are:
What time...?
When...?
• What time does the
flight to New York leave?
• When does the bus
arrive from Bandung?
• When does the
concert begin?
Telling the Time
We use It is or It's to respond to the questions that ask
for the time right now.
• It is half past
five (5:30).
• It's ten to twelve
(11:50)
We use the structure AT + time when giving the time of a
specific event.
• The bus arrives at
midday (12:00).
• The flight leaves
at a quarter to two (1:45).
• The concert begins
at ten o'clock. (10:00)
We can also use subject pronouns in these responses.
• It arrives at
midday (12:00).
• It leaves at a
quarter to two (1:45).
• It begins at ten
o'clock. (10:00)
AM vs. PM
We don't normally use the 24-hour clock in English.
We use a.m. (am) for the morning and p.m. (pm) for the
afternoon and night.
3am = Three o'clock in the morning.
3pm = Three o'clock in the afternoon.
