1.    say, look at the rules for telling time in english.

a. in english we use “past” to say times after the hour until half past, or 30 minutes past the hour. example: 9:30 – it’s half past nine.

    b. in english we use o’ clock only at the full hour. example: 2:00 – it’s two o’ clock.

    c. we can also say the number in groups of two. example: 7:25 – it’s seven twenty – five.

    d. when speaking about the different times of the day we often use: in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening.
