¿CÓMO DECIR LA HORA EN INGLÉS?
How to say the time in English – Examples and Reference
Analogue | Digital | Normal Use | Hints | Timetables, TV, etc. |
---|---|---|---|---|
6:00 | It's 6 o'clock. | |||
6:05 | It's 5 past 6. | past and the previous hour (here: 6) | It's six oh five. | |
6:15 | It's quarter past 6. | It's six fifteen. | ||
6:30 | It's half past 6. | It's six thirty. | ||
6:35 | It's 25 to 7. | to and the following hour (here: 7) | It's six thirty-five. | |
6:45 | It's quarter to seven. | It's six forty-five. | ||
6:55 | It's 5 to 7. | It's six fifty-five. | ||
7:00 | It's 7o'clock. |
1. The 12-hour-system in English
In English there is no 24-hour-system (sometimes it is used on TV and in timetables).15:00 is 3 o'clock (p.m.) (on TV: fifteenhundred). That's why you use a.m. (Latin: ante meridiem) and p.m. (post meridiem) in situations where it is necessary to point out that you want to say in the morning or in the evening. In other situations (or when it is clear that school starts in the morning and the party in the evening) it is left out.

14:00 | 2 pm |

2. When to use o'clock

MALE PHILOPHOBIA STORIES
I am terrorized by feeling loved September 10th, 2014 by Carl — Please add a comment
It’s always the same story: I like a woman, I court her, I see
her, I even have sex with her and everything goes well until she tells
me or I understand that she’s getting affectioned or falling in love
with me. When this happens I feel terrorized, I feel discomfort, I feel
entrapped, I want to escape.
My behavior becomes hateful, rude. And then she leaves me. When this happens I loose all my phobias, I deeply suffer because of abandon, I look for her but it’s too late. And I subside again in the suffering of loneliness. This is my destiny.

Distant Destiny April 19th, 2013 by jesse — Please add a comment
I see her every other day. We talk, we flirt a bit, and i think
about her all the time.I can feel this burning inside, but I'm too scared
to let her know how i feel. Will she accept it? Reject it? i can't be
rejected by someone so….perfect for me (as it seems) in every way. She
seems like the perfect girl for me…but does she feel the same? she walks
by, my plams sweat, my heart races, and I freeze. I can't think
straight! ….I can see myself telling her how I feel in my mind, but
doing it is as scary but full of love at the same time….so little time
to tell her…only a month left. Is this a nightmare, or is this destiny?
I have decided to be single in my life January 19th, 2012 by Mahesh — Please add a comment
I’m 27 and single. I want to love but at the same time I’m
afraid. All these days I thought I will find a perfect match for me. But
recently I have decided that it would be better to stay away from
girls. I had a girl as my best friend. I don’t know what happen, she
started avoiding me and ignoring me completely. Sorry to say, the fact
is I cannot read girls mind:(
After breakup of my friendship I was very depressed and deleted my social networking profiles and now trying to stay away even from my friends. I’m broken……I’m a sensitive guy with a lot of feelings. I just believed in loving my relation. I love my friend……I love my best friends….I love my parents and I love everything I do………but after that breakup I lost in my own thoughts. Now, I have decided to be single in my life………previously I was confused whether to love or not but now its confirmed that I will never ever allow a girl even as a friend in my life…..I’m afraid it will happen again.
After seeing all these, I understood that my problem is called philophobia.

Complicated January 19th, 2012 by Chris — 1 comment
I just heard about philophoby recently. As soon as I heard the
symptoms I became amazed of how much my personality matched with them. I
have never had a girlfriend. Just hook ups and what not. What has been
holding me back is not being able to appreciate the girls that want
something with me…my independence is the most valuable thing in my
possession. I would love to fall in love one day; in fact, I did and I
messed up. Her name was Michelle and I knew we liked each other.
All my life…girls have been trying to get with me (I have rejected a good 20 something girls), but I just do not want anything with them. With Michelle, I felt deeply in my heart that she was the one. But I never dared. One day I was decided to tell her everything. I failed, and the worst emotion of physical sickness engulfed my body.
Now I want a good woman to share my moments with, but who knows what will happen. The only thing that dies in the end is hope.

Para no equivocarte con el condicional en inglés, no necesitas mucho.
Saber conjugar, saber formarlos en español (por ejemplo evitar las
confusiones entre habría y hubiera), y luego adquirir un reflejo: el
tiempo de conjugación español que tiene la particularidad de tener dos
formas, comiera/comiese, viniera/viniese, hubiera/hubiese (se llama
pretérito imperfecto) se traduce generalmente en inglés con un past
simple. Así que repite unas diez veces las frase siguiente:
viniera viniese = past simple, comiera comiese = past simple, hubiera hubiese = past simple, fuera fuese = past simple
de forma que se convierta en algo que traduzca sin pensar. A estas
alturas, doy por sentado que sabes cómo se forma el past simple: o con
ED, o con la forma de la segunda columna.
Segundo punto que te puede ayudar: el tercer condicional en inglés es
el condicional de have. Hasta que no tengas have en las dos partes de
la oración habrá un problema. Por suerte, coincide con el español: dos
veces haber, una con hubiera, otra con habría.
También es bueno saber que esta frases condicionales pueden ir en
otro orden: hay dos partes, la que tiene if y la que no lo tiene. Da
igual cuál de las dos ponemos primero. Lo mismo pasa en español. Puedo
decir:
te vería si vinieras, pero también si vinieras te vería.
