"What time is it? It's four o´clock". In this lesson we will explain the different ways of telling time in English.

Hay muchas maneras de decir la hora en inglés.

Ejemplos:

nine or nine o'clock(nueve en punto)
twelve or twelve o'clock(doce en punto)

Pero no podemos decir:

six-thirty o'clock

3. No se utiliza oralmente el reloj de 24 horas. Para diferenciar la mañana de la tarde podemos decir si es la mañana o la tarde o se emplea "am" y "pm".

Ejemplos:
