Hello!
Hoje, iremos falar sobre as horas, como ler as horas (se seu relógio é analógico), as maneiras de se falar as horas e essas coisas.
Mas antes, vamos conhecer algumas palavras básicas:
Minutes = Minutos
Hour = Hora
Clock = Relógio
Watch = Relógio
Quarter = 1/4 (um quarto)
Half = Meio, Metade
Past = Passado
To = Para
. . .
1- Quando a hora for exata, dizemos as horas em inglês, mais a palavra "o'clock".
Ex.: É uma em ponto.
It's one o'clock.
2- Quando se passaram alguns minutos depois de tal hora, mas não ultrapassa os quinze minutos, dizemos os minutos que passaram, mais a palavra "past", mais a hora que se passou.
Ex.: São duas e dez.
It's ten past two (ou "It's two and ten").
3- Quando se passaram exatos quinze minutos, usamos a palavra quarter, mais a palavra past, mais a hora que passou.
Ex.: São duas e quinze.
It's quarter past two (ou "It's two and quarter").
4- Quando se passaram mais de quinze minutos, usamos a mesma regra do segundo item (acima).
Ex.: São duas e vinte e cinco.
It's twenty-five past two (ou "It's two twenty-five").
5- Quando já se passaram exata meia hora, dizemos half, mais a palavra past, mais as horas.
Ex.: São duas e meia.
It's half past two.
6- Se você quisesse dizer que faltam trinta minutos para tal hora, use a palavra half, mais a palavra to, mais as horas que virão.
Ex.: São trinta para as três (Falta meia hora para as três).
It's half to three.
7- Quando se passarem mais de trinta minutos, mas ainda não chegou nos 45 minutos, use os minutos que faltam para a próxima hora, mais a palavra to, mais as horas que virão.
Ex.: São duas e trinta e cinco (Faltam vinte e cinco minutos para as três).
It's twenty-five to three.
8- Quando faltarem exatos 15 minutos para a próxima hora, use a palavra quarter, mais o to, mais a hora que virá.
Ex.: São duas e quarenta e cinco.
It's quarter to three.
9- Quando faltarem menos de quinze minutos para a próxima hora, use os minutos que faltam, mais o to, mais a hora que se aproxima.
Ex.: São duas e cinquenta e cinco (São cinco para as três).
It's five to three.
10- Quando for meio-dia, dizemos Midday.
11- Quando for meia-noite, dizemos Midnight.
12- Antes do meio-dia, dizemos horas mais a sigla a.m..
Ex.: São duas e meia da manhã.
It's two and half a.m..
13- Depois do meio-dia, dizemos as horas mais a sigla p.m..
Ex.: São três e quinze da tarde.
It's three and fifteen p.m..
Geralmente você não precisará usar o a.m. ou o p.m., porque a pessoa saberá se está de dia ou de noite...
Agora, se seu relógio for digital, você não precisa ficar vendo onde está o ponteiro pequeno e o grande...

Present Perfect x Simple Past
Hi!!!
HAPPY 2011!
Today we're going to learn the difference between Present Perfect and Simple Past. This probably confuses you...
Let's cut to the chase:
As you know, both Simple Past and Present Perfect present a situation in the past, but the difference is that, basically, when using the Simple Past, you say the time when something happened. You don't say the time when something happened if you're using the Present Perfect. Look at these sentences:
I did it yesterday.
I have done this.
We studied Geography for four hours.
We have studied Geography.
What did you say two minutes ago?
What have you said?
ABOUT THE USE OF ADVERBS:
There are some adverbs that you can use with the Present Perfect like "just", "already", "up to now", "until now" / "till now", "ever", "(not) yet", "so far", "lately" / "recently"...
Ex.:
"I've just phoned her!"
"I have never been to Italy."
"I have seen that movie already."
ABOUT THE USE OF FOR:
- Use it with the Present Perfect when the action is not finished:
Ex.: "I have lived there for ten years, I still live there."
- Use it with the Simple Past when the action is finished already:
Ex.: "I lived there for ten years, I moved when my husband died..."
HOW TO USE YET:
- Use it in questions with the meaning of "already":
"Have you done the dishes yet?"
- Use it in negative sentences with the meaning of "still":
"I have not done the dishes yet..."
- With affirmative sentences use the adverb already:
"I have done the dishes already."
I hope you get it!
See you!

Hi!!!
FELIZ 2011!
Hoje vamos ver a diferença entre o Present Perfect e o Simple Past. Isso provavelmente confunde você... Sem mais delongas, vamos lá:
Como você sabe, ambos indicam passado, mas a diferença é que no Simple Past aparece o tempo em que a ação ocorreu. Já no Present Perfect, não. Observe:
I did it yesterday.
I have done this.
We studied Geography for four hours.
We have studied Geography.
What did you say two minutes ago?
What have you said?
SOBRE O USO DE ADVÉRBIOS:
Existem alguns advérbios que você pode usar com o Present Perfect como "just", "already", "up to now", "until now" / "till now", "ever", "(not) yet", "so far", "lately" / "recently"...
Ex.:
"I've just phoned her!"
"I have never been to Italy."
"I have seen that movie already."
SOBRE O USO DE FOR:
- Use-o com o Present Perfect quando a ação não estiver terminada:
Ex.: "I have lived there for ten years, I still live there."
- Use-o com o Simple Past quando a ação já estiver terminada:
Ex.: "I lived there for ten years, I moved when my husband died..."
COMO USAR YET:
- Use-o em perguntas com o significado de "already" (já):
"Have you done the dishes yet?"
- Use-o em frases negativas com o significado de "still" (ainda):
"I have not done the dishes yet..."
- Com frases afirmativas, use o advérbio already:
"I have done the dishes already."
Espero que compreenda.
See you!
