To tell the time in English, you can use two main ways: the ‘traditional’ way with words like past<\/span> \u0648 to<\/span>, or the ‘digital’ way using numbers.<\/strong> The traditional method is common in spoken English and uses a 12-hour clock. For example, It’s ten past three<\/span> means 3:10. The digital method is simpler, just saying the numbers you see, like three ten<\/span>. Both are correct, but understanding the traditional way is important for everyday conversations and exams like the A2 Key. We also use AM<\/span> for morning and PM<\/span> for afternoon\/night to avoid confusion with the 12-hour clock. This lesson will help you master both methods easily.<\/div>\n
