Pardon me for staring ❤😂
16:35 should be ten to four 😊
需要認真看影片，好好學習英式英文表達時間和日期。😊
難怪英劇說的時間讓我聽不太懂表示方式，好實用的影片，喜歡🎉
Super useful. One of the best but foundational one I’ve ever watched. 戴老師妳好棒❤
These phrases in time and date are essential in life, I applied them in daily life too.
感謝Susie分享英式英語表達資訊😀😀🤝🤝我們下次見。
@16:33 it's ten to four but thanks for the video!
這集我喜歡～ 邊看邊唸😊
In some fields, regardless of whether you are in the US or the UK, they might use the 24-hour time format to avoid confusion. (e.g. computers/system administration and/or medical services (e.g. emergency room or in the UK, Accidents and Emergencies (A&E), as well as the military.)
We learnt this clock system in primary school in Hong Kong. Yes it is very confused and difficult. We almost do not use this system , instead US system is more convenience. Later I listen this system in BBC radio everyday. Thankfully I've learnt this when I was young.
but for the date system, UK style is common in hk
That’s useful, I think you should create a podcast channel to play the episodes like this teaching lesson
Susie, Thank your great course. 😊
戴小姐的頻道真不錯
Thank you so much. Very comprehensive coverage. I wish you also cover what "A.M" or "P.M" mean, at first I thought it is "at morning" and "past morning" (now I know it isn't correct)
感謝您的教學video. 能請你幫忙新手ENGLISH introduction在面試見工嗎？再次謝謝 ❤
Thank you very much for your videos, that is very useful 👍 😀 😊 🙂 👌 ☺️ 👍
Hi Susie, I really appreciate your videos, I learnt a lot from them.
I have a question about how to tell the years, after a few years, assuming we were in 2043, I mean our cunrrent year was 2043, when we say the years that are closer to the current day, like between 2030 and 2040, it would work either way? for example, we could say two thousand and thirty two (2032), could also say twenty thirty two, whereas for those years between 2020 and 2030, we should use the 'thousands' way, two thousand and twenty one (2021), is it correct?
Looking forward to your kind reply!
I use to like listening to how the BBC broadcast "half-past", "quarter-past", "quarter-to", "ten-past", or "ten-to". It did take me a long time to get use to😁. Similar way of telling time in Denmark.
好實用
I found it’s cool when some people skip “past” for “half past”. They say half 6 instead of half past 6
Great Lesson! I heard some Brits said ‘past six‘’’ instead of ‘half past six‘’’ to express the meaning of ‘18：30‘’’. Is it a common and informal to say this in UK? Please advise. Thanks. 😀
Thank you very much❤❤❤
戴小姐，你真的好漂亮又聰明的女孩子，加油。
可惜了，微整了下巴
為什麼可惜 完全不能理解
最美英語老師
it's helpful,thank you for ur lesson,my pretty susie.😂😂😂
very useful. thanks❤
It's always my headache about the time in British way😮 because I'm always confused about it.Thanks for it and please keep making it.😕🤔
Yes! Winter or Daylight Saving Time are so annoying!and the English grammar of time is very similar to that of our Scandinavian languages?
😂It dawned on me. Really helpful thank you 😊
Thank you so much
The only 'lecture' i ever had about telling time was in kindergarten, decades ago :)
注意到一個小錯誤～16:34的圖應該是Ten to four～
yes thank you, the clock on the screen is wrong
（唔怪得我喺英國約GP或牙醫時佢地講既時間同我印象中學過既時間講法唔同，但聽多幾次就明了）
Maybe this is explained why most GP receptionists are described the appointment time would be twenty past ten or maybe twenty to eleven.
So I got a key word pair "past/to", thank you so much Soosie! ^_^
Susie, sorry for my mistaken spelling! Sadly.
您好，可以分享一下怎么用英文读价格吗？谢谢。我经常把逗号位置搞错😅
You make me remember my English teacher at primary school.
舒萱好！
最想看這類的
Being a person who grew up in both British and American influences, though I lived in the UK for long, just find it confused every time when reporting time. I would say it more on an American way, especially now I’m in the US.
Or if sometimes if I’m lazy, I’ll simply say the four numbers on my phone and gladly everyone understands.
i have trouble disguising - teen and -ty especially when people speak fast, can u teach us how to identify them? I usually repeat as one five or five zero
Easy learning especially English tone ❤ Quite hard to understand
Scottish 😂
Susie, for your reference, we learned to write 25th Dec. 2013 instead of 25.12.2013 in school 30 years ago, in Hong Kong. Teacher did not teach us the later and I suppose the former is the formal way to be used in business writing. Correct me if I am wrong. 😃
OMG! And some teachers insist on writing the full spelling instead of the first three letters lol
Hello Susie, 16:40那個應是Ten to four? Thx~
yes sorry the clock is wrong
Susie下午好😀😀🖐🖐
Time is money
請問火車站的播音是不是會直接把24小時制的時間唸出來？
整點的時間會說hundred hour
very useful❤
Hi Susie, what about "half six" for 6:30? (Yea, the word "past" is missing)
How often do people in the UK say it like this? Is it more like a regional thing or do many people actually say it on the daily basis?
Does it make you raise your eyebrows a bit when you hear people saying it like that, since it sounds like it could also mean 5:30 as well (or 3:00 even)? 😧
"Half six" is very common as well!
Good video
hi susie, May I confirm if your saying would be wrong by 16:37?😝 it’s almost 4 but you said almost 3…btw, this video is really helpful❤
在英國時間中的分鐘常用".",而不用‘’:", 例如 1.10 代表10past1
實在是太好聽的腔調差點忘了記下來內容
說得太快了😢
Most of the situation we learn English in a regular way, how do we talk about the common sense of dinosaurus ? ( Was a dinosaur nude or with feathers ? How many birds are the modern generation of ancient dinosaurus ? )
Ive also watched some movie, and when they say time, it'll be bit diifferent, like 08:00 b "Oh-eiht-hundred".
16:40 Is it should be ten to four?
Susie!!!
I would like to know how to say the money 🙏🏻
刻画形象的：graphic graph -ic 词根词缀 词根graph-,gram- = write, 表示“写，图”，来自于希腊语。后缀-ic 表形容词，“…的”。1610, "traced" (implied in graphical), from L. graphicus "picturesque," from Gk. graphikos "of or for writing, belonging to drawing, picturesque," from graphe "writing, drawing," from graphein "write," originally "to scratch" on clay tablets with a stylus. Meaning "of or pertaining to drawing" is from 1756; that of "vivid" is from 1669, on the notion of words that produce the effect of a picture.刻/刮/擦GRA+画PHA 雕(龙)画(凤)
thanks
You're welcome!
什麼時候講一下cockney
I quite often confuse with 0.5 hour and 1.5 hour, half hour, hour half, half an hour, an hour half 😅
為什麼要把時間用得如此燒腦😂😂
选老师，先看颜值😂😂❤❤
Most of them are similar to australia!
Your explanation somehow differs from my recognition. For 02:10 I would say two ten at night or ten past two at night.
TEN TO FOUR 16:37
❤❤❤❤
0:00 am I would say zero hundred
I think you meant to say ten to four @16:34
16.33
Is 10 to 4 teacher
It doesn't make sense that it's not 12:00am one hour after 11:00am (Since 12:00am actuaclly means midnight!!).
How about we speak "two O O five" for 2005? Is is proper?
No, should be "two thousand and five" 😊
it more like ten to four?
Should be ......Ten to Four
Video @16:36
I am a Hongkonger living in UK.
Thank you, Sussie！
can we say "two-oh-two-three" for years?
No I'm afraid not!
Sorry to remind you. It’s ten to four 😊
有次 我打電話去 GP 預約 我說 half past three 那護士聽不懂 結果我說 three thirty 她才聽懂 😅
oh really! maybe they weren't British 😋
Why "Woo” would translate to “戴“ and not “胡”？
There is a trivious mistake of this clock lecture if you would forgive my sickness of perfrectionism😂. Its 10 to 4 instead of ten to 3.
English is an insane language😅
EYES MRE BRIGHTLY.....WHICH BRAND....OP? NOT BAD, LOVELY FOR SURE.
At 16.38 it should be 'ten to four' 😅
🤯🤯🤯
16:30 It should be ten to four. 😅
When the Elizabeth second's husband killed Princess Diana with a fake car accident , what's the British Royal Family Scandal Diana tried to tell the world before she was dead ? 當伊莉莎白二世的老公用假車禍殺了黛安娜公主以後，黛安娜想要揭發的英國皇室的醜聞是什麼？
instead of "ten to three" , it's should be "ten to four" right ? , it's a graphical mis-match i guess, anyway, thx for the video though , good for my kids
Those are all exactly the standard education in the crown British Hong Kong. I guess there only can teach British ways under the governor rather than US way. But I'm a US rebel after grown up particularly the church I went in my teenage is a native American church which very rare on the European continent, let alone the GB isle. Hence some of them in me had already been returned to my British HK school, while everyday talking to my US friends and they just said "Stop that, we ain't got that much time for those redundant long regular grammar BS. Just STFU and say what you wanna say simply straight!".
在用多邻国学英语
BO’OH’O’WA’ER😂
太快了啊
So cute, but Leeds people say half 4😭
oh You are so pretty, I just can't move my eyes from your face, hhhhh😃
Hahaha you forgot to mention: half ten. 😂
英国其实没必要用夏令时
在北京，本地人会说八点差十分，或者七点过五分，我觉得这是来自英制时间的描述。
浙江人都这么说的，你认为是英国影响吗😂
😄 那我就是孤陋寡闻了@@alessiii58
Honey,can I have a dating with you ❤🎉…..
