Telling the Time
Telling the time adalah menyatakan waktu, biasanya untuk menyatakan waktu dengan menggunakan jam. Untuk menyatakan waktu, ada beberapa hal yang mesti diperhatikan antara lain dalam menyatakan waktu itu sendiri.

Ungkapan yang sering untuk menanyakan waktu adalah sebagai berikut,

What time is it? ( Jam berapa ini?)
What time is it now? (jam berapa sekarang?)

Maka dijawab dengan

It is seven O'clock. (sekarang jam tujuh)

Dalam bahasa Inggris di sekolah, kita merujuk pada bentuk British Style yang mana pengucapan bentuknya berbeda urutan dengan American style. Untuk lebih jelasnya, perhatikan perbedaannya pada tabel berikut ini.

Pada contoh diatas, yang akan kita bahas adalah pada bentuk British Style, dimana digunakan sebagai bentuk resmi pelajaran di sekolah. Cara menyatakannya adalah dengan membaca menitnya terlebih dahulu baru diikuti oleh jam.

Contoh :
7:10, dibaca ten past seven
7:20, dibaca twenty past seven
7:15, dibaca a quarter past seven
7:55, dibaca five to eight
7:30, dibaca half past seven

Keterangan :

a quarter : seperempat
a half : setengah
past : lebih
to : kurang

Dalam menyatakan waktu, kita juga sering menemukan beberapa istilah tentang waktu. Berikut ini macam- macam istilah berkaitan dengan waktu antara lain:

Midday/ Noon : bila jarum jam menunjukkan angka tepat di dua belas siang
Midnight : bila jarum jam menunjukkan angka tepat di dua belas malam
AM : Ante Merediem, digunakan untuk menerangkan waktu setelah pukul dua belas malam sampai dengan dua belas siang
PM : Post Merediem, digunakan untuk menerangkan waktu setelah pukul dua belas siang sampai dengan dua belas malam

Contoh :

A : What time do you go to school?

B : I go to school at 7 a.m

*** Dalam contoh diatas, B berangkat sekolah pada pukul 7 pagi, dengan keterangan a.m (ante merediem)

Telling the Date

Untuk menanyakan tanggal, kita bisa menggunakan berbagai ungkapan pertanyaan, sebagai contoh adakah sebagai berikut,

What date is it today? (tanggal berapa hari ini?)
What day will be tomorrow? (Besok hari apa?)
What day will be the day after tomorrow? (Besok lusa hari apa?
What day was yesterday? (kemarin hari apa?)
What day was the day before yesterday? (lusa kemarin hari apa?
When is your birthday? (kapan ulang tahunmu?)
When were you born? (kapan kamu lahir?)
When is New Year’s Eve? (Kapan perayaan tahun baru?)
