  • Untuk menit 1–30 setelah jam bulat, pakai past: "ten past three" (3:10).
  • Untuk menit setelah 30, pakai to dan jam berikutnya: "ten to four" (3:50).

Bertanya dan menjawab soal waktu

  • "What time is it?" → "It's half past seven." / "It's 7:30."
  • "What time does the movie start?" → "It starts at eight o'clock."

Kesalahan umum

  • ❌ "It's fifteen fifty." (untuk 3:50, tercampur formatnya) → ✅ "It's ten to four." / "It's three fifty."
  • ❌ "Half to three." → ✅ "Half past three." (half selalu memakai past, bukan to)
  • ❌ "It is seven o'clock thirty." → ✅ "It is half past seven." / "It's seven thirty." (jangan gabungkan o'clock dengan menit)
  • ❌ "The meeting starts on 8 o'clock." → ✅ "The meeting starts at 8 o'clock." (pakai "at" untuk jam spesifik)
