Notes :
• Dibaca mulai dari menitnya dulu
Contoh :
- 03.10 = ten past three
- 07.27 = twenty seven past seven
• untuk menit 00, menggunakan o'clock
Contoh :
- 05.00 = five o'clock
- 10.00 = ten o'clock
• untuk menit 15 menggunakan a quarter
- 05.15 = a quarter past five
- 12.15 = a quarter past twelve
• menit yang lebih dari 30, kurangi menitnya dengan 60, lalu menggunakan to. Dan jamnya ditambah satu ( +1 )
Contoh :
- 04.35 = twenty five to five
- 11.40 = twenty to twelve
• untuk menit 30 menggunakan half. Dan selanjutnya bisa menggunakan past atau to
Contoh :
- 02.30 = half past two ( atau ) half to three
- 10.30 = half past ten ( atau ) half to eleven
• Cara mudah membaca jam (American style)
Contoh :
- 12.30 = twelve thirty
- 06.23 = six twenty three
