The plural of nouns is usually
formed by adding -s to a singular
noun.

Nouns ending in -y preceded by a
vowel form their plurals by
adding s.
boy, boys

Nouns ending in s, z, x, sh, and ch

form the plural by adding es.
moss - mosses
buzz - buzzes
box - boxes
dish - dishes
church - churches

Nouns ending in - y preceded by a

consonant is formed into a plural
by changing -y to ies.

Times

Prepositions of time

What's the Time ?

There are two common ways of telling the time:
Formal but easier way:
Say the hours first and then the minutes:
Example: 7:45 - seven forty-five
More popular way:
Say the minutes first and then the hours.
In English we use o'clock only to say full hours / round.
Example:
6:00 It's six o'clock.
7:00 It's seven o'clock.
8:00 It's eight o'clock.
8:01 It's one past eight. (In this case we no longer say
oclock)
We use "PAST" to say the minutes until the limit of half an
hour.
Examples:
6:10 pm. It's ten past six.
12:15 pm. It's quarter past twelve.
4:25 pm. It's twenty-five past four.
2:28 pm. It's twenty-eight past two.
10:30 am. It's half past ten.

We use:

at for a PRECISE TIME

on for DAYS and DATES
AT

ON

precise time

Days and dates

at 3 o'clock

on Sunday

at 10.30am

on Tuesdays

at noon

on 6 March

at dinnertime

on 25 Dec. 2010

at bedtime

on Christmas Day

at sunrise

on Independence Day

at sunset

on my birthday

at the moment on New Year's Eve

Look at these examples:

We use TO to tell the time from 31 minutes to be completed

before a full hour.
Example:
2:35. Its twenty-five to three.
6:40. Its twenty to seven.
9:45. It's quarter to ten.
7:55. It's five to eight.

American English

Beside past, Americans often use after.

Example: 06:10 Its ten past six./Its ten after six
But in time expressions with half past it is not usual to
replace past by after.
Beside TO Americans often use before, of or till.
Example: 05:50 Its ten to six/ Its ten before/ Its ten of six/
Its ten till six.

I have a meeting at 9am.

The shop closes at midnight.
Jane went home at lunchtime.
Do you work on Mondays?
Her birthday is on 20 November.
Where will you be on New Year's Day?
