8. Learn the rule. Use PAST for minutes after the hour (up to 30): 2:15 = quarter past two; 6:30 = half past six. Use TO for minutes before the next hour (from 31 to 59): 4:45 = quarter to five; 2:50 = ten to three. Use O’CLOCK for exact hours: 5:00 = five o’clock. Write the times in words: 1:45, 2:15, 6:30, 4:40, 5:00.

1. 1:45 — quarter to two.
2. 2:15 — quarter past two.
3. 6:30 — half past six.
4. 4:40 — twenty to five.
5. 5:00 — five o’clock.
