00:00.000 --> 00:07.000
Standard Chinese, a modular approach, resource module on time and dates, Tape 4.

00:07.000 --> 00:13.000
On this tape, you'll learn some additional ways to express time, plus how to say the equivalent of am and pm.

00:13.000 --> 00:17.000
You'll also practice putting date and time expressions into sentences.

00:17.000 --> 00:22.000
To begin, we'll review some phrases by using them in sentences.

00:22.000 --> 00:28.000
The word for to arrive is 到, repeat, he arrives at five o'clock.

00:28.000 --> 00:36.000
他五点钟到,他五点钟到.

00:36.000 --> 00:40.000
Repeat, he arrives at six thirty.

00:40.000 --> 00:48.000
他六点半到,他六点半到.

00:48.000 --> 00:54.000
How would you say he arrives at eight fifteen?

00:54.000 --> 00:58.000
他八点一克到.

00:58.000 --> 01:02.000
Now repeat, he arrives on Wednesday at nine fifteen.

01:02.000 --> 01:14.000
他星期三九点一克到,他星期三九点一克到.

01:14.000 --> 01:17.000
Here's the word for airplane.

01:17.000 --> 01:19.000
飞机.

01:19.000 --> 01:23.000
Repeat, the plane arrives at ten twenty.

01:23.000 --> 01:30.000
飞机十点二十分到.

01:30.000 --> 01:36.000
飞机十点二十分到.

01:36.000 --> 01:40.000
Now listen to the plane arrived at seven ten.

01:40.000 --> 01:44.000
飞机是七点十分到的.

01:44.000 --> 01:48.000
Repeat, the plane arrived at seven ten.

01:48.000 --> 01:53.000
飞机是七点十分到的.

01:53.000 --> 01:58.000
飞机是七点十分到的.

01:58.000 --> 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.

02:07.000 --> 02:12.000
Here we're interested in the time an action took place, so we use the sure-do construction.

02:12.000 --> 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.

02:19.000 --> 02:23.000
Now repeat, he arrived last month.

02:23.000 --> 02:28.000
他是上个月到的.

02:28.000 --> 02:33.000
他是上个月到的.

02:33.000 --> 02:39.000
How would you say he arrived last week?

02:39.000 --> 02:44.000
他是上个星期到的.

02:44.000 --> 02:48.000
The verb to leave is 走.

02:48.000 --> 02:55.000
Repeat to leave. 走.

02:55.000 --> 03:06.000
Repeat, he's leaving next year. 他明年走.

03:06.000 --> 03:24.000
Repeat, he's leaving tomorrow at eleven fifty. 他明天十一点五十分走.

03:24.000 --> 03:30.000
A more complete way to express the times past the hour is to use the word to pass 过.

03:30.000 --> 03:35.000
What time is this? 四点过一刻.

03:35.000 --> 03:47.000
A quarter past four. 四点过一刻.

03:47.000 --> 03:59.000
Repeat, three quarters past four. 四点过三刻.

03:59.000 --> 04:07.000
Put the following times into English. 九点过三刻.

04:07.000 --> 04:14.000
Three quarters past nine. 十点过一刻.

04:14.000 --> 04:23.000
A quarter past ten. 两点过二十五分.

04:23.000 --> 04:36.000
Twenty-five minutes past two. How do you say a quarter past three? 三点过一刻.

04:36.000 --> 04:44.000
How do you say three quarters past seven? 七点过三刻.

04:44.000 --> 04:51.000
How do you say forty minutes past ten? 十点过四十分.

04:51.000 --> 04:55.000
十点过四十分.

04:55.000 --> 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.

05:08.000 --> 05:15.000
Repeat, a quarter before five. 五点叉一刻.

05:15.000 --> 05:22.000
五点叉一刻.

05:22.000 --> 05:28.000
In the same way, time before the hour is more completely expressed by using 叉 to lack.

05:28.000 --> 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.

05:38.000 --> 05:45.000
A quarter before three. 三点叉一刻.

05:45.000 --> 05:53.000

Now while you're looking at the p.m. clock,

13:20.000 --> 13:22.000
I'll give you some times in English,

13:22.000 --> 13:25.000
you give the Chinese name for the period of the day in which they fall.

13:25.000 --> 13:27.000

In Chinese,the period of day precedes the hour expression.

14:04.000 --> 14:07.000
For example,here's how you would say 3 a.m.

14:08.000 --> 14:10.000
夜裡3點鐘

14:10.000 --> 14:12.000
Repeat 3 a.m.
