In spoken English or when reading aloud, there are often situations where time is needed to express oneself. How do you accurately express time in English? In general, there are two ways to express it.
1. Read the numbers directly. Such as:
7:00 reads: seven or seven o" clock
8:30 reads: eight thirty
9:15 Read: nine fifteen
10:30 reads: ten thirty
11:59 Read: Eleven Fifty - Nine
From the above five examples, it can be seen that time can be directly expressed by cardinal words. When indicating the hour, you can read the number of the hour directly, or you can add o"clock after it to read; When it means a fraction of zero, "zero" is generally read .
Second, with the help of past and to to express.
1.Minutes less than or equal to 30 are used to mean "exceed", where 15 minutes is read as a quarter and 30 minutes as half. Such as:
6:08 reads: eight past six
7:15 reads: A quarter past seven
8:23 reads: twenty - three past eight
9:30 reads: half past nine
2.Minutes greater than 30 are used to express the "difference" of "how much", so if the minute is greater than 30, it is necessary to see how many minutes it is different from "hour" plus "1". When reading "minutes", how many minutes are missing; Add "1" when reading "hour".
Of these, 45 minutes is a difference of 15 minutes, which should also be read as a quarter. Such as:
4:32 reads: twenty - eight to five
6:45 reads: a quarter to seven
11:58 reads: two to twelve
12:49 Read: Eleven to One (12-hour clock).
Eleven to Thirteen (24-hour clock).
Summarizing the above methods of expressing time with the help of past and to, we can compile the following rules of slipping and memorizing:
Within 30 minutes, the point is in the front, the point is in the back, and the past is in the middle;
Outside of 30 points, use 60 minus, add 1 to the point, and use to connect.

There are two main words that can be used, one is take, the other is spend, or let's give an example.
1 i spent two days on this project.
2 i spent two days in solving this problem.
3 it took me two days to solve this problem.
4 how long did it take you to solve this problem?
5 how many hours did you spend on this project?
It can be seen that the usage of the two words is still very flexible, and the preposition choice of on and in after spend is determined according to whether it is a noun or a gerund.
