1. hour method: If the hour is expressed by "hour+point", the point can be omitted. For example, five o'clock at 5:00, eight o'clock at 8:00 and nine o'clock at 9: 00.
2. Sequential reading method: read "hours" first and then "minutes", that is, "hours+minutes". The number of direct reading time, for example, 3:25 is pronounced as 325, and 8: 10 is pronounced as 80.
3. Reverse reading method: read "minutes" first and then "hours". There are two main types of reverse reading:
(1) If the number of minutes is less than or equal to 30 minutes, it is expressed by "minutes" +paste+ "minutes", which means "what time has it been for several minutes", and paste is a preposition, which means "past". For example, 8: 10 is pronounced 8: 10. 9:20 is pronounced 9: 20.
(2) If the minutes are more than 30 minutes, use "(60- original minutes) +to+ (original minutes+1)" to mean "how many minutes are left or how many minutes are left". Where to is a preposition, which means "poor". For example, 7:55 is pronounced as five minutes to eight, that is, 7: 55 (where the number of minutes is five from 60 minutes MINUS 55 minutes, and the number of hours is eight from the original hours of 7+ 1), 8:50 is also pronounced as ten to nine, and 9:40 is pronounced as twenty to ten.
