Tips: 1) In English there is no 24-hour-system (sometimes it is used on TV and in timetables). 15.00 is 3 o'clock (p.m.) (on TV: fifteen hundred). That's why you use a.m. (Latin: ante meridiem) and p.m. (post meridiem) in situations where it's necessary to point out that you want to say "in the morning" or "in the evening". In other situations (or when it's clear that school starts in the morning and the party in the evening) it's left out. Example:

Germany 0:00 0:01 8:00 12:00 12:01 14:00 18:00 23:59

England midnight 12:01 am 8:00 am noon (migdia) 12:01 pm 2 pm 6 pm 11:59 pm

2) o'clock (abbreviation: "of the clock") only on the hour 3) quarter = 15 minutes; half = 30 minutes 4) multiplies of 5: leave out the word "minutes" (but: 6.01 - It's one minute past 6.)
