Ada dua cara untuk mengucapkan jam dalam bahasa inggris, yaitu : .

• 2:34 - It's two thirty-four

2) Say the minutes first and then the hour.  (Minutes + PAST / TO + Hour)

    Katakan menit terlebih dahulu kemudian jam ( Menit+ Past/TO + Jam)

For minutes 1-30 we use PAST after the minutes. (Untuk menit ke 1 s.d. ke 30 menggunakan kata PAST)

When it is 15 minutes past the hour we normally say: (a) quarter past

When it is 15 minutes before the hour we normally say: a quarter to

• 12:45 - It's (a) quarter to one (jam1 kurang seperempat)

When it is 30 minutes past the hour we normally say: half past

• 3:30 - It's half past three (but we can also say three-thirty) / (jam setengah 4)

O'clock

We use o'clock when there are NO minutes. (Ditulis o'clock apabila tidak ada menit dibelakang jam)

• 10:00 - It's ten o'clock
• 5:00 - It's five o'clock

Sometimes it is written as 9 o'clock (the number + o'clock)
