Thank you so much. Very comprehensive coverage. I wish you also cover what "A.M" or "P.M" mean, at first I thought it is "at morning" and "past morning" (now I know it isn't correct)

I use to like listening to how the BBC broadcast "half-past", "quarter-past", "quarter-to", "ten-past", or "ten-to". It did take me a long time to get use to😁. Similar way of telling time in Denmark.

We learnt this clock system in primary school in Hong Kong. Yes it is very confused and difficult. We almost do not use this system , instead US system is more convenience. Later I listen this system in BBC radio everyday. Thankfully I've learnt this when I was young.

Hi Susie, I really appreciate your videos, I learnt a lot from them. I have a question about how to tell the years, after a few years, assuming we were in 2043, I mean our cunrrent year was 2043, when we say the years that are closer to the current day, like between 2030 and 2040, it would work either way? for example, we could say two thousand and thirty two (2032), could also say twenty thirty two, whereas for those years between 2020 and 2030, we should use the 'thousands' way, two thousand and twenty one (2021), is it correct? Looking forward to your kind reply!

Great Lesson! I heard some Brits said ‘past six‘’’ instead of ‘half past six‘’’ to express the meaning of ‘18：30‘’’. Is it a common and informal to say this in UK? Please advise. Thanks. 😀

@YelLoWlNg 8 ай бұрын

I found it’s cool when some people skip “past” for “half past”. They say half 6 instead of half past 6

@DanIsBest1108 8 ай бұрын

Being a person who grew up in both British and American influences, though I lived in the UK for long, just find it confused every time when reporting time. I would say it more on an American way, especially now I’m in the US. Or if sometimes if I’m lazy, I’ll simply say the four numbers on my phone and gladly everyone understands.

（唔怪得我喺英國約GP或牙醫時佢地講既時間同我印象中學過既時間講法唔同，但聽多幾次就明了） Maybe this is explained why most GP receptionists are described the appointment time would be twenty past ten or maybe twenty to eleven.

Susie, for your reference, we learned to write 25th Dec. 2013 instead of 25.12.2013 in school 30 years ago, in Hong Kong. Teacher did not teach us the later and I suppose the former is the formal way to be used in business writing. Correct me if I am wrong. 😃

Hi Susie, what about "half six" for 6:30? (Yea, the word "past" is missing) How often do people in the UK say it like this? Is it more like a regional thing or do many people actually say it on the daily basis? Does it make you raise your eyebrows a bit when you hear people saying it like that, since it sounds like it could also mean 5:30 as well (or 3:00 even)? 😧

刻画形象的：graphic graph -ic 词根词缀词根graph-,gram- = write, 表示“写，图”，来自于希腊语。后缀-ic 表形容词，“…的”。1610, "traced" (implied in graphical), from L. graphicus "picturesque," from Gk. graphikos "of or for writing, belonging to drawing, picturesque," from graphe "writing, drawing," from graphein "write," originally "to scratch" on clay tablets with a stylus. Meaning "of or pertaining to drawing" is from 1756; that of "vivid" is from 1669, on the notion of words that produce the effect of a picture.刻/刮/擦GRA+画PHA 雕(龙)画(凤)

Those are all exactly the standard education in the crown British Hong Kong. I guess there only can teach British ways under the governor rather than US way. But I'm a US rebel after grown up particularly the church I went in my teenage is a native American church which very rare on the European continent, let alone the GB isle. Hence some of them in me had already been returned to my British HK school, while everyday talking to my US friends and they just said "Stop that, we ain't got that much time for those redundant long regular grammar BS. Just STFU and say what you wanna say simply straight!".
