I
usually get up at a quarter past seven - that's seven fifteen in the morning.
I have breakfast at eight o'clock and then take the bus to work at half past
eight. I usually arrive at work at a quarter to nine. Sometimes, the bus is
late and I arrive at about nine. My morning is usually pretty busy and I
like taking a coffee break at twenty to eleven if possible. I then work to
lunchtime at noon. In the afternoon, I usually have another break at three
fifteen. I usually finish work at a quarter to five and arrive home around
six in the evening. At night, I usually go to bed at eleven o'clock.
Look
at the rules for telling time in English.
|
In English we use "past" to say times after the hour until half past, or 30 minutes past the hour. (Em Inglês nós usamos “past” pra dizer minutos até 30 minutos passados de uma certa hora.) |
We use "to" to say times before the hour from 31 minutes until the full hour. (Nós usamos “to” pra dizer os minutos faltantes pra completar a próxima hora.) |
|
In
English we use “o'clock” only at the full hour. (Em
Inglês nós usamos “o’clock” apenas pra horas exatas.) Example:
It's eight o'clock
|
We can also just say the numbers in groups of two. (Nós também podemos somente dizer os número em grupos de dois.)Example: It's seven twenty-five |
|
When
speaking about the different times of the day we often use: in
the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening |
Be
careful! In English we use at night NOT in
the night |
