    Today’s Topic

    The Time
    In the most of the european countries, specifically in
    England, France and Germany, to be on time is very
    important. To be late in one place, one work meeting or in
    one romantic date it could be the worts mistake that you’ve
    ever done.
    You have to be sure about the time you have.
    5:15  It's (a) quarter past five.
             (It's five fifteen)

    9:10 It's ten (minutes) past nine. 


            (It's nine ten)
    6:45 It's (a) quarter to seven.
            (It's six forty-five)

    11:40 It's twenty (minutes) to twelve. 


             (it's eleven forty)

    1:30 It's half past one.


            (It's one thirty)
    La palabra 'minutes' se puede omitir después de 5, 10, 20 y 25. Normalmente se
    utiliza después de los demás números: 'It's five past two'.
    Pero en los otros casos se dice "minutes". 
    'It's eleven minutes past five'.
    'It's seven minutes to one'.
    'It's thirteen minutes to seven'. etc..

    Se utiliza 'a.m.' y 'p.m.' en un lenguaje más formal y normalmente escrito.


    Ej. Banks are open from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
    Es más normal decir: 'In the morning', 'In the afternoon', 'In the evening', 'At
    night'7:00 a.m. = seven o'clock in the morning.
    2:15 p.m. = quarter past two in the afternoon.
    7:30 p.m. = half past seven in the evening
    11:00 p.m. = eleven o'clock at night
    o'clock es una contracción antigua que significa 'of the clock' (del
    reloj). El empleo actual equivale al español 'en punto' (seven o'clock
    = siete en punto).

    o'clock 'en punto' a quarter 'y cuarto'


    past...
    half past... 'y media'   a quarter to... 'menos
    cuarto'

    12:00 = midday
    24:00 = midnight
