Page 1: Fundamentals of Telling Time in English

The first page introduces the basics of telling time in English, focusing on the essential question "What time is it?" and the standard response format "It's...".

Vocabulary: "O'clock" is used when expressing exact hours.

The page illustrates how to express minutes before the hour using "to":

• Five to • Ten to • Quarter to • Twenty to • Twenty-five to

Similarly, it shows how to express minutes after the hour using "past":

• Five past • Ten past • Quarter past • Twenty past • Twenty-five past

Highlight: When the minute hand passes 6 (30 minutes), the next hour is referenced.

Example: "It's twenty to three" means 2:40.

An important distinction is made between French and English time-telling conventions:

Definition: In French, hours are stated before minutes, while in English, it's the opposite - minutes are stated before hours.

The second page builds on the fundamentals and provides extensive practice with various time expressions and clock faces.

Special time expressions are introduced:

• "Half past" for 30 minutes past the hour • "Quarter to" and "Quarter past" for 15 minutes before and after the hour

The page includes numerous clock faces with corresponding digital times, allowing learners to practice reading time in English from both analog and digital formats.

Highlight: The guide emphasizes the importance of using "It's" at the beginning of time expressions.

Several examples of more complex time expressions are provided:

• 20:20 - It's twenty past eight. • 14:15 - It's quarter past two. • 23:45 - It's quarter to twelve! • 05:30 - It's half past three! • 21:35 - It's twenty-five to ten. • 13:05 - It's five past one. • 18:25 - It's twenty-five past six! • 22:10 - It's ten past ten.

These examples serve as excellent practice for learning to tell time in English and reinforce the concepts introduced earlier in the guide.

Vocabulary: "O'clock" is again highlighted, emphasizing its use for exact hours.

The page concludes with additional clock faces for further practice, ensuring that learners have ample opportunity to apply their newly acquired skills in telling time in English.
