Como Dizer as Horas em Inglês

Para perguntar as horas em inglês, podemos dizer:

What time is it?

(Que horas são?)

What's the time?

(Que horas são?)

Have you got the time? (informal)

(Você tem horas?)

Could you tell me the time? (mais formal)
(Você poderia me dizer as horas?)

Para responder usamos:

It is ou It's + a hora

Exemplos:
2:10 – It is two ten.
6:20 – It's six twenty.

Duas formas de dizer as horas:

6:05	It’s six oh five	It’s five past six
6:10	It’s six ten	It’s ten past six
6:15	It’s six fifteen	It’s a quarter past six
6:20	It’s six twenty	It’s twenty past six
6:25	It’s six twenty-five	It’s twenty-five past six
6:30	It’s six thirty	It’s half past six
6:35	It’s six thirty-five	It’s twenty-five to seven
6:40	It’s six forty	It’s twenty to seven
6:45	It’s six forty-five	It’s a quarter to seven
6:50	It’s six fifty	It’s ten to seven
6:55	It’s six fifty-five	It’s five to seven
7:00	It’s seven o’clock	It’s seven o’clock

Observações:

1) O zero em 6:05 se diz "Oh".

2) A expressão o’clock é usada somente em horas cheias.

Exemplo:
7:00 = It is seven o’clock.

3) A expressão PAST é usada para indicar os minutos antes do 30.

Exemplo:
6:10 = It is ten past six.

No inglês americano,com frequência utiliza-se after em vez de past, exceto para half past.

Exemplos:

6:10 = It is ten after six.

6:30 = It is half past six.

4) A expressão A QUARTER significa um quarto de hora, ou seja, 15 minutos.

Exemplos:

6:15 = It is a quarter past six.

6:45 = It is a quarter to seven.

5) A expressão HALF PAST é usada para indicar meia hora.

Exemplo:

6:30 = It is half past six.

Em situações informais, normalmente não se fala a palavra past na expressão half past.

Exemplo:

6:30 = It is half six.

6) TO é usado para indicar os minutos depois do 30.

Exemplo:

6:40 = It is twenty to seven.

No inglês americano, em vez de TO, podemos usar of, before e till.

Exemplo:

6:40 =

It is twenty of seven.

It is twenty before seven.

It is twenty till seven.

7) O relógio de 12 horas é usado na linguagem do dia a dia.

As expressões a.m. e p.m. indicam quando o horário ocorre antes ou depois de meio-dia.

a.m. (ante meridiem) = antes do meio-dia
p.m. (post meridiem) = depois do meio-dia

Exemplos:
7:00 a.m =

It’s seven a.m. (São 7 da manhã.)

It’s seven o’clock in the morning.

7:00 p.m =

It’s seven p.m. (São 7 da noite.)

It’s seven o’clock in the evening.

8) O relógio de 24 horas é usado em quadros de horário, programações e anúncios oficiais.

Exemplo:

The next train from platform 1 is the 15:43 departure to Toledo.

(O próximo trem da plataforma 1 é o de 15:43 para Toledo.)

9) Usamos a palavra minutes para os horários entre as divisões de 5 minutos.

Exemplos:
6:07 = Seven minutes past six.
6:57 = Three minutes to seven.

10) Para meio-dia e meia-noite

usamos:

12:00 a.m = Midnight (meia-noite)

12:00 p.m = Noon ou Midday (meio-dia)

Fábula em Inglês: The Fox and the Grapes + Exercícios e Gabarito

The Fox and the Grapes

One day a hungry Fox came across a rich and luscious grapevine. A bunch of ripe grapes were hanging from a height a good way above the ground.

The Fox made several attempts to jump up and pluck the grapes, but his efforts were in vain.

Tired and hungry, he walked off grumpily and murmured:

"I am sure those grapes were nasty and sour. I'm glad I could not reach them.

They were definitely not worth eating."

It is easy to belittle what you cannot obtain.

The Fox spoke badly of the grapes only because he could not reach them and was forced to go away hungry.

To lessen his disappointment of not getting what he wanted, he comforted himself with the idea that the grapes were sour.

Moral of the story:

That's just sour grapes.

1) luscious = saborosa

2) grapevine = videira

3) bunch = cacho

4) ripe = madura

5) height = altura

6) ground = chão

7) attempts = tentativas

8) pluck = arrancar

9) efforts = esforços

10) in vain = em vão

11) walked off = foi embora
