Di dalam kehidupan sehari-hari kita pasti tidak pernah lepas dari yang namanya waktu, adanya siang dan malam, lalu jam berapa kita biasanya berangkat ke sekolah, jam berapa acara TV favorit kita tayang, dan lain sebagainya. Kita tentu harus bisa membaca Jam tersebut supaya kita tahu pukul berapa sekarang.

Untuk membaca jam dalam bahasa inggris silahkan lihat gambar di bawah ini:
Umumnya ada dua rumus untuk menyatakan jam yaitu:
Jam + Menit
Cara ini merupakan cara yang paling mudah untuk menunjukan waktu, hanya dibacakan saja angkanya dalam bahasa inggris.
Contoh :
03.30 = It's three thirty (Itu jam tiga tigapuluh)
06.45 = It's six forty-five (itu enam empatpuluh lima)Minutes + past/to +hour
Pada cara ini kita harus menyebutkan menit-nya dulu baru jam-nya dan memakai kata 'past' atau 'to' untuk menerangkan kurang atau lebihnya menit pada jam tersebut.
Contoh :
08.10 = It's ten past eight (Itu jam delapan lewat sepuluh menit)
08.55 = It's five (minutes) to nine (lima menit lagi menuju jam sembilan/ jam sembilan kurang lima menit)
Untuk membaca jam ada beberapa hal yang harus kita perhatikan. Kata O'clock digunakan untuk jam tepat, quarter (seperempat) digunakan untuk menyatakan waktu yang kurang atau lebih 15 menit. Sedangkan half (setengah) digunakan untuk menyatakan waktu yang lebih dari 30 menit. Mari kita lihat penjelasannya di bawah ini.
Jam tepat = Jika jam menunjukkan jam tepat/pas (jarum panjang tepat ke angka 12) maka kita harus mengatakan seperti ini:
It's seven o'clock (Jam tujuh tepat 07.00)
It's nine o'clock (Jam sembilan tepat/ 09.00)
It's eleven o'clock (Jam sebelas tepat/ 11.00)Jam lebih = Jika jarum panjang jam menunjukkan lebih 1-30 menit, maka kita harus mengatakan:
It's ten minutes past nine (Jam 8 lebih sepuluh menit/ 08.10)
It's a quarter past eleven (Jam sebelas lebih lima belas menit/ 11.15)
It's a half past twelve (Jam dua belas lebih tiga puluh menit/ setengah satu / 12.30)Jam kurang = Jika jarum panjang menunjukkan lebih dari 31 menit ke atas, maka kita harus mengatakan:
It's ten to nine (Jam sembilan kurang sepuluh menit/ 09.50)
It's five to three (Jam tiga kurang lima menit/ 02.55)
It's a quarter to five (Jam lima kurang lima belas menit/ 04.45)
Untuk lebih jelasnya silahkan lihat pada gambar di bawah ini:
