When we start to talk about times that aren't on the hour, it gets difficult. The time is given as a relationship of times to one another, rather than being given in exact numbers. It is either a long time past a certain time or a short time past a certain time. When you get past a quarter past an hour, the time will refer to the coming hour, not the current one.

The time given is ten minutes until half an hour. You can find a list to keep all of this in order.

5 over 1 is the number.

10 over 2 is what it is.

3:20 is kwarts over 3

10 for half 5 is the number.

5 for half 6

Half 7 is 6:30.

5 over half 8 is the number.

10 over half 9 is the number.

9:45 is kwart.

10 to 11 is 10:50
