How to tell the time

What time is it?
In English we use “past” or “after  to say times what the time is until half past, or 30 minutes past the hour.
We use “to” to say times before the hour from 31 minutes until the full hour.
In English we use o’clock only at the full hour.

Example: It’s eight o’clock
When speaking about the different times of the day we often use: in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening.


We use the term o’clock to refer to a a full hour. Examples:
15:00 - It's three o'clock.
22:00 - It's ten o'clock.


We use the term half (mitad) to refer to 30 minuets. 30 is the limit to use “past” or “after”. Examples:










14:30 - It's half past two.
22:30 - It's half past ten.






We use the term quarter to 15 minutes. It this is before 30 then we use “past” or “after”
21:15 - It's quarter past nine.
20:15 - It's quarter past eight.




Similar to the last example. We use a quarter to refer to 15 minutes but it is after 30 so we use “to”. 
Examples:
15:45 - It's quarter to four.
9:45 - It's quarter to ten.






Remember to use “past” or “after” when the minutes are before 30.


 15:25 - It's twenty-five past three
 16:20 - It's twenty past four.






When it is after 30 minutes we DO NOT use “past” or “after”. WE USE “TO” and we point to the next hour. Examples:




18:40 - It's twenty to seven.
22:35 - It's twenty-five to eleven
