English Date
English date (tanggal dalam bahasa Inggris)
Tanggal dalam bahasa Inggris tertulis
Bahasa Inggris BritishDalam bahasa Inggris British, hari biasanya dituliskan sebelum bulan. Jika kita mau, kita bisa menambahkan akhiran bilangan bertingkat (st, nd, rd, atau th). Preposisi of sebelum bulan biasanya dihilangkan. Kita bisa memasang tanda koma sebelum tahun, tetapi ini tidak umum lagi dalam bahasa Inggris British.
Contoh: 5(th) (of) October(,) 2004
Bahasa Inggris Amerika
Dalam bahasa Inggris Amerika kita juga bisa menuliskan tanggal hanya dengan menggunakan angka. Bentuk yang paling umum adalah:
Contoh: 5/10/04 atau 5-10-04
Perlu diperhatikan bahwa 5/10/04 biasanya berarti tanggal 5 Oktober 2004 dalam bahasa Inggris Britis, dan dalam bahasa Inggris Amerika bisa berarti tanggal 10 Mei 2004. Untuk menghindari kerancuan ini, anda harus mengeja bulan atau menggunakan singkatan.
Tanggal dalam bahasa Inggris lisan
Jika kita menempatkan hari sebelum bulan, gunakan the sebelum hari dan preposisi of sebelum bulan.5 October 2004 - the fifth of October, two thousand and four
Jika kita menempatkan bulan sebelum hari, gunakan the sebelum hari (bahasa inggris British) atau the bisa dihilangkan (bahasa inggris Amerika).
October 5, 2004 - October (the) fifth, two thousand and four
Cara mengucapkan tahun
Mulai tahun 2000 ke atas, tahun dieja seperti bilangan biasa.
2000 - two thousand
2003 - two thousand and three
Untuk tahun 2000 ke belakang, tahun dieja berbeda: dua angka pertama adalah satu bilangan dan dua angka terakhir adalah satu bilangan. Kedua satuan bilangan ini bisa digabungkan dengan hundrend and, yang sebenarnya hanya perlu jika dua angka terakhir adalah 00 sampai 09.
1999 - nineteen (hundred and) ninety-nine
1806 - eighteen hundred and six / eighteen oh six
Jika kita ingin menggunakan tahun tanpa tanggal pasti, gunakan preposisi in:
I was born in 1972.
Untuk membedakan tanggal sebelum dan setelah Maserhi, gunakan BC dan AD:
BC = ‘Before Christ’ (Sebelum Masehi)
AD = ‘Anno Domini’ (Masehi)
Telling the time
Menyatakan Jam dalam Bahasa Inggris
Menyatakan Jam dalam Bahasa Inggris
Ketika Anda mempelajari bahasa Inggris, Anda
akan sering menjumpai kata atau kalimat yang menceritakan tentang jam/
waktu. Mungkin Anda juga akan sering menggunakan keterangan waktu ketika
Anda akan menceritakan sebuah cerita atau kejadian. Pada artikel ini
akan dibahas bagaimana Anda menceritakan waktu (menceritakan jam lebih
tepatnya) dalam bahasa Inggris.
Anda dapat menceritakan jam dengan cara mengucapkan jamnya terlebih dahulu kemudian menitnya. Perhatikanlah contoh berikut ini :
6.10 : Six ten
7.30 : Seven thirty
9.45 : Nine Forty five
10.09 : Ten o nine
Kemudian, Anda dapat menceritakan menitnya terlebih dahulu dan kemudian mengucapkan jamnya. Perhatikanlah contoh berikut ini :
5.10 : Ten past five
10.20 : Twenty past seven
09.25 : Twenty five past nine
Untuk menit 31 sampai dengan 59 Anda menggunakan to. Contoh :
5.35 : Twenty five to six (Jam 6 kurang 25 menit)
8.50 : Ten to nine (Jam 10 kurang 10)
10.45 : Fifteen to eleven (Jam 11 kurang 15)
Untuk 30 menit, pada bahasa Inggris disebut half dan 15 menit disebut a quarter. Perhatikan contoh berikut ini :
2.15 : A quarter past two
5.30 : half past five
3.45 : A quarter to four
6.30 : Half past six
8.45 : A quarter to nine
Pada bahasa Inggris Amerika, Past juga kadang digantikan oleh after.
Contohnya :
8.15 (A quarter after eight), 5.20 (Twenty after five), 8.30 (Half after eight).
Kemudian pada bahasa Inggris Amerika kata to juga sering digantikan oleh before atau of, misalnya : 5.55 (Five before six).

Kemudian pada bahasa Inggris Amerika kata to juga sering digantikan oleh before atau of, misalnya : 5.55 (Five before six).
Penggunaan a.m. dan p.m.
Pada bahasa Inggris, Anda sering melihat
pemakaian a.m. dan p.m. ketika membaca waktu. Kedua penunjuk waktu
tersebut memiliki singkatan sendiri. Yakni, a.m. : ante merediem yang
digunakan untuk menunjukkan waktu antara jam 00.00 sampai pukul 12.00
dan p.m. : post merediem digunakan untuk menjelaskan waktu antara 12.00
sampai 00.00. penggunaan kedua penunjuk waktu tersebut dibarengi oleh
waktu yang telah dijelaskan di atas. Misalnya : 01.35 a.m. dan
sebagainya. Jika Anda tidak ingin menggunakan penunjuk waktu tersebut,
Anda dapat menggunakan keterangan waktu seperti; in the morning, in the
afternoon, in the evening atau at night.
Contoh :
8.15 (A quarter past eight in the morning)
Contoh :
8.15 (A quarter past eight in the morning)
Daily English Listening Lesson
Photography
Nov 24 2014
Intro
When you’re out with friends having fun, someone in your group will surely bring out a camera to snap
a picture. Or when you’re home alone with your cat, you might take a
picture of him when he does something cute. Photographs are a great way
to keep a memory forever, on your phone or on your wall. But with so
many people taking pictures, there are also many bad pictures that are
too dark, or too light, or out of focus because taking a great photo
takes practice.
Photography has become so popular that most cities have classes to teach people how to use their cameras and how to take the best picture. Some of these classes take place outdoors to teach students about nature photography, other classes might focus on taking pictures of people inside a room.
Rafael and Gary are talking about how photography has become very popular and the importance of learning how to correctly use a camera. Find out more in today’s English lesson about how to be a better photographer.

Dialogue
English, baby! English lesson audio.
Rafael: Photography is hard. Here I am trying to make a living
taking pictures of beautiful images in nature. And I feel like everybody
wants me to take pictures of them at their wedding.
Gary: You need to have a really good eye to be able to frame a good photo.
Rafael: Yeah.
Gary: And there are so many people using websites like Instagram. Photos are so trendy now.
Rafael: Yeah, Instagram is trendy. You see a lot of photos up there that you can tell the photographer had a big lack of expertise.
Gary: Yes, because they don’t know the settings of their camera or the settings of their phone, because a lot of people are using their phone to take photos.
Rafael: And I think reading manuals has become a lost art.
Gary: I’d agree with you on that. My digital SLR has a really thick manual and I actually did read through a bunch of it because there were so many features that I had no idea what to do when I first got the camera.
Rafael: Well, anyway, I want to show you this amazing photo I took in Mount Hood.
Gary: That is really nice. You’ve got a good eye!
Gary: You need to have a really good eye to be able to frame a good photo.
Rafael: Yeah.

Discussion
Rafael works really hard at his photography expertise
by going out and taking beautiful pictures of nature, but he is annoyed
that people only ask him to take pictures of them at events. Gary
agrees that it takes a good eye and a lot of practice to be good at photography.
Photography has become very trendy, but Rafael thinks that people need to read their camera manuals to really learn about their digital SLR cameras. Gary agrees that people need to better understand their camera settings to take the best pictures.
Do you carry around a camera all of the time? What is your favorite subject to photograph?

Grammar Point
Simple Past Tense
Rafael shows Gary an amazing photo that he took at Mount Hood. The verb took is in simple past tense.
The simple past tense is used to talk about a completed action or state that occurred in the past. To form this tense, you simply add ed to the end of the verb, as long as it is a regular verb. For example, the past tense of walk is walked. Be sure you use the simple past whenever you say when something happened in the past, for example, “I talked to her yesterday.”
There are many irregular verbs in the simple past tense, however. For example, the past tense of take is took. The past tense of does is did. Be is especially tricky, because we say I/he/she/it was and you/we/they were.
To form the negative in the simple past tense, we put did not before the base form of the main verb, as in, “I did not see a movie last night.” Did not is often shortened to didn’t, especially in spoken English. With the verb “to be,” we use was not, as in, “I was not impressed by the film.”
Which is correct, “He have a great time at the party last night?” or, “He had a great time at the party last night?”
