Telling the Time: British English

[@nimck-y2z]

As an American living in the UK I think it’s funny that when I ask for the time I never get an exact time. It’s always quarter past, half past, ten to, etc. Americans usually give you the exact time whereas brits always seem to round it and don’t mention what hour it is. I know it sounds funny but sometimes I’m busy for hours and don’t know the hour so when my wife says half past I’m like, “half past what?” 😂

[@LogitechXibanga]

so you americans use quarter oils instead a gallon of oil for your v8 engine but cant use quarters on a hour?

[@outmywritemind1739]

Americans generally do say its half past 8 or a quarter until 7.

@@EnglishLikeANative Both you and Lucy wrote Anna and Lucy in your comments here without a comma in front of the names. Is that because of the 'internet style', so to say, or a grammar mistake?

[@athulabar1]

The way you present it is absolutely fantastic, so learners could easily follow it. Excellent job! Good Luck!

Englishmen say: What´s the time? Americans say: What time is it? There´s too much influence of american english throughout the media nowadays! Englishmen say: it is a quarter to ten. Americans say: It´s 10, 45. Englishmen say: it´s half past four. Americans say: it´s four thirty!!!

[@notimportant4455]

Quater to 10 is 9:45, quater to 11 is 10:45

[@ElJibaro718]

Oops. You tripped up in your little complaint about there being "too much American influence" 🤣

[@ElJibaro718]

Also, "half past 4" and 4"30 is equally correct. You just don't like how we Americans speak 🤣

[@DigiDragon001]

What about more complicated times, like 6:59 a.m. and 1:04 p.m.?

[@SalahHousaini]

thanks, you said that we ask about the time in different ways one of them, what time it is? but shouldn't we said *What time is it?* because we are asking??!! thanks again

[@LogitechXibanga]

how to ask for time time in the UK : Whats the times n limes?

[@ntcstopeating]

So, if it 4 : 55 am i should say fifty five to four and if it's 4 : 12 am i should say quarter past four? I'm so confused please someone correct me, thank you ❤️

[@wilfhook2955]

4.55 is said 5 to 5. Generally you round to the nearest five if you don’t need a precise time so would normally be said as just after ten past four. If you need a precise time you would say it as written so either four twelve am or oh four twelve if using 24 hour clock which is common.

[@ntcstopeating]

@@wilfhook2955 oh thank youuuu 😅

[@hiyalanguages]

So Americans don’t say half past, etc…? Just the exact time? I had no idea about it until now! Also, 8.34 in UK would be 8.34, not 26 to 9, right? I don’t recall it being so fancy with ‘broken’ minutes.

[@Luckyjetq]
