The time (La hora)

Para preguntar por la hora en inglés se utilizan estas preguntas:

What's the time? or What time is it?

Siempre se responde:

It's... y detrás se pone la hora y los minutos.

3:00 = It's three o'clock (Son las tres en punto).
3:05 = It's five past three (Son las tres y cinco).
3:10 = It's ten past three.
3:15 = It's (a) quarter past three.
3:20 = It's twenty past three.
3:25 = It's twenty-five past three.
3:30 = It's half past three.

3:35 = It's twenty-five to four.
3:40 = It's twenty to four.
3:45 = It's (a) quarter to four.
3:50 = It's ten to four.
3:55 = It's five to four.

También se puede decir la hora de otra manera, fijándonos en los números tal y como aparecen:

4:20 = It's four twenty.
4:30 = It's four thirty.
4:45 = It's four forty-five.
4:55 = It's four fifty-five.

 Si decimos la hora en una frase y no como respuesta a la pregunta What's the time?, delante se pone la preposición "at".

I get up at seven o'clock. School starts at quarter to nine. We have lunch at ten past two.
