英语的时间表达法：
所有的时间都可以用“小时 + 分钟”直接读，
6：10: six ten
8：30: eight thirty
2：40: two forty
如果所表述的时间在半小时之内，可以用“分钟 +past+ 小时”，
6：10: ten past six
4：20: twenty past four
10：25: twenty-five past ten
如果所表述的时间在半小时之外，可以用“（相差的）分钟 +to+ （下一）小时”，
10：35: twenty-five to eleven
5：50: ten to six
9：49: eleven to ten
如果所表述的时间恰好为半小时，可以用“ half+past+ 小时”，
11：30: half past eleven
2：30: half past two
如果所表述的分钟和 15 有关，就有三种表达法：
（15 分钟又叫一刻钟： a quarter）
9：15: nine fifteen; fifteen past nine; a quarter past nine
3：45: three forty-five; fifteen to four; a quarter to four
整点：
现在是两点整。
It’s two.
It’s two o’clock.
It’s two o’clock sharp.
It’s two o’clock on the dot.
It’s two o’clock on the nose.
It’s exactly two o’clock.
另外英语中的 noon 和 midnight 可分别直接表示白天和夜晚的 12 点：
It’s (twelve) noon. 现在是中午十二点。
It’s (twelve) midnight. 现在是半夜零点。
大约时间：
It’s almost two. 马上到两点了。
It’s not quite two. 还不到两点。
It’s just after two. 刚过两点。
若想表明是上午，可在时间后加上 am ，如： thirteen past six am （上午六点十三分）。若想表明是 下午，可在时间后加上 pm ，如： four o’clock pm （下午四点）。
英文日期表达法：
注意英语叙述词的用法： fourteenth = 14th；first = 1st；twenty-second = 22nd。
在英式英语中，人们表达日期时的顺序是 “日—月—年”。例如， 2014 年 6 月 22 日 = 22/06/2014； 而在美式英语中，日期表达顺序则是“月—日—年”。
在表达日期时， 0 常被读为“ oh ”， 而不是 “ zero”。
在口语表达中，我们需要把日期之间的介词和定冠词读出来。例如： 5 月 10 日 =“the 10th of May”。 不过在书面英语中，定冠词 the 和介词 of 则可以省略不写： 10th May。
在书写时，英语的日子和月份都要以大写字母开头。
