00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000
You'll also practice putting date and time expressions into sentences.

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,000
To begin, we'll review some phrases by using them in sentences.

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,000
The word for to arrive is 到, repeat, he arrives at five o'clock.

6
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:36,000
他五点钟到,他五点钟到.

7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Repeat, he arrives at six thirty.

8
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:48,000
他六点半到,他六点半到.

9
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,000
How would you say he arrives at eight fifteen?

10
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,000
他八点一克到.

11
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,000

飞机.

15
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Repeat, the plane arrives at ten twenty.

16
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:30,000

17
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,000
飞机十点二十分到.

18
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Now listen to the plane arrived at seven ten.

19
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000

20
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000

飞机是七点十分到的.

23
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:07,000
The sure-do construction is used to indicate a past action when the focus is on some quality of the action, not whether the action did or did not take place.

24
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Here we're interested in the time an action took place, so we use the sure-do construction.

25
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,000
For more information on the sure-do construction, take a look at the reference notes for unit five of the biographic information module.

26
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Now repeat, he arrived last month.

28
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,000

00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:39,000

31
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000
The verb to leave is 走.

00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Repeat to leave. 走.

33
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Repeat, he's leaving next year. 他明年走.

34
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Repeat, he's leaving tomorrow at eleven fifty. 他明天十一点五十分走.

35
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:30,000
A more complete way to express the times past the hour is to use the word to pass 过.

36
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,000
What time is this? 四点过一刻.

37
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:47,000

00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:59,000

46
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Time before the hour, as in phrases such as a quarter before five, can be expressed using the verb 叉 to lack. Repeat to lack. 叉.

47
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:15,000

In the same way, time before the hour is more completely expressed by using 叉 to lack.

50
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:38,000
With 叉, you can say it's so many minutes before such and such an hour. What are these times? 叉一刻三点.

51
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:45,000
