Telling The Time
In general there are two methods used to convey the time that a formal way but much easier and way more popular.
Formal but easier way
Saying the first hour followed by minutes.
Example: 7:45 - seven forty-five
For 01 to 09 minutes, we could say '0 'as oh
Example: 11:06 - eleven (oh) six
Way more popular
Say the minutes first and then followed by an hour. Use past and hours prior to minute 01 to minute 30. Use to and hour will come for 31 to 59 minutes.
Example: 7:15 - fifteen minutes past seven
Example: 7:45 - fifteen minutes to eight
Another way to say "fifteen minutes past": a quarter past
Another way to say "fifteen minutes to": a quarter to
Another way to say "30 minutes past": half past
Example: 5:30 - half past five
To further facilitate the following picture:
Note:
Use o'clock only at the full hour.
Example: 7:00 - seven o'clock (but 7:10 - ten past seven)
In plain English conversation, used 24 hours.
Example: 17:20 - past twenty five
For the time around midnight or noon we can use the expressions midnight or midday / noon instead of the number 12.
Example: 00:00 - midnight
Example: 12:00 - midday or noon
To clarify whether you are referring to is the time before 12 or later, we can use in the morning, in the afternon, in the evening, at night. Use in the morning before 12 noon, and use in the afternoon after 12 noon.
Example: 3:15 - a quarter past three in the morning OR a quarter past three at night
More formal disclosure to indicate whether the time is before noon or after noon is am (ante meridiem - between 00.00 to 12.00 noon) and pm (post meridiem - between 12.00 pm to midnight). These expression with the formal way of telling the time.
Example: 3:15 - three fifteen a.m.
Unusual use am and pm with the past or to.
Example: 3:15 - fifteen minutes past three OR a quarter past three
American English
In addition to past Americans often use after.
Example: 06:10 - ten past / after six
But in time by half past disclosure is not uncommon to replace past by after.
In addition to the Americans often use before, of or till.
comparative adjectives
When talking about the two objects, we can compare and see the differences as well similarities between the two objects. Maybe it has the same thing on one side and the difference on the other side. To compare the difference between the two objects we use comparative adjectives. Comparison of using only comparative adjectives to compare between two objects only.
There are two ways to create a comparative adjectives:
1. Adding the suffix-er (short adjectives)
2. Adding more prefix (long adjectives)
The addition of the suffix rules for short adjectives:
- Generally only added adjective-er, for example: older, smaller, richer, etc.
- If the ending-e, just add r, for example: later, nicer, etc.
- If the ending consonant-vowel-consonant, consonant plus the latter, then plus-er, for example: bigger, hotter, etc.
- If the ending-y, then y changed to i then added er, for example: happier, Earlier, busier, heavier, etc.
For long adjectives, the rule only adds more words only on adjectives, for example: expensive become more expensive, beautiful become more beautiful, etc..
Some adjectives have irregular shape, for example, good - better, well (healthy) - better, bad - worse, far - farther / further, etc.
Adjectives with two syllables can use the-er or more: quiet - quieter / more quiet, clever - cleverer / more clever, narrow - narrower / more narrow, simple - Simpler / more simple.
Usage Comparative Adjectives
Adjective comparison is only used to compare between two objects only. And the word is often used to follow than, though not always.
example:
- Mt. Everest is higher than Mt. Blanc.
- I had a bigger meal than you.
- Mars is smaller than Earth.
- America is big. But Russia is bigger.
- A car is more expensive than a bicycle.
- The movie was more exciting than the book.
- I want to have a more powerful computer.
Comparative adjectives are not only used to compare two different objects, but can also be used to compare the same object that points to itself, and the object in question does not need to be mentioned again, as one example sentence above: I want to have a more powerful computer.
superlative adjective
- One syllable words - add “est” to the word. Remember that it is sometimes necessary to double the final consonant. Examples are: strong to strongest and big to biggest.
- One syllable words ending with an “e” - only add “st” like fine to finest or rare to rarest.
- Two syllable words ending with a “y” - change the “y” to an “i” and add “est.” Two examples are crazy to craziest and silly to silliest.
- Two and three syllable words - use “most” or “least.” Examples include most desirable and least expensive.
To Need
1. To make a negative sentence and answers to questions that MUST wear
example:
1. The I must go now. (Positive).
2. I need not go now. (Negative). not: I mustn't go now, because this sentence means.: (I am forbidden to go now).
3. Must I go now? No, you need not or Yes, you must.
2. As usual verb meaning "need" and to change shape.
1. Need - needs (Present Tense)
2. Needed (Past Tense).
In this case, the form of the interrogative and negative made with the auxiliary verb "do / does" to the present tense, and the "did" for the past tense, as is generally regular verbs.
example:
1. They need some milk.
2. They do not need any milk.
3. Do they need any milk?
4. She does not need much money.
5. Did Ali need to meet with you?
6. Ali did not need to go with you.
7. Ali need to go with you.
negative and interrogative
negative and interrogative sentences Simple Present Tense well.
Just a quick recap: Positive Present Tense is S + V1 (+ s / es) + O / adverb. example:
She reads novels every day.
He teaches English.
To form negative and interrogative sentences Simple Present Tense, we use the auxiliary verb (auxiliary verb) 'do' or 'does'.
'Do' is used for subjects: I, you, we, they, more plural subject.
'Does' used for subjects: He, she, it, and other single subject.
In negative and interrogative sentences, kat work (verb) that ends with the suffix added s / es must return to the basic form.
How to make sentences negative:
S + do / does + not + Verb 1.
Example: The movie does not start at 1:45 pm. They do not treat her well.
How interrogative sentences:
Do / Does + S + Verb 1 ...?
Does the example films start at 1:45? Do they treat her well?
