Speaking tips

Grammar point — “quarter past = 15 minutes after; quarter to = 15 minutes before; on + day, at + time”

  1. Quarter past = 15 minutes after the hour (3:15 is quarter past three). Quarter to = 15 minutes before (8:45 is quarter to nine).
  2. Use on with days and at with times: “on Saturday”, “at quarter past six”.
  3. Ask “When do you …?” Agree with “So do I!” or “Me too!”

Use it for: Reading a clock, planning classes and play dates, reading a school timetable, and talking about your week.

Worked example: Which sentence says “It's quarter to nine.”? It's quarter to nine.

  1. Listen again: “It's quarter to nine.”
  2. Find the sentence that has exactly the same words.

Check: Look at a clock and say the time aloud, then say what you do on Sunday ✓
