There are two common ways of telling the time. وقت بتانے کے دو طریقے ہوتے ہیں


1) Say the hour first and then the minutes. (Hour   Minutes)
پہلے گھنٹہ بتاؤ پھر منٹ

6:25 - It's six twenty-five
8:05 - It's eight O-five (the O is said like the letter O)
9:11 - It's nine eleven
2:34 - It's two thirty-four

2) Say the minutes first and then the hour.  (Minutes   PAST/TO   Hour)
پہلے منٹ  بتاؤ پھر  گھنٹہ 

For minutes 1-30 we use PAST after the minutes.
١-٣٠ منٹ کے لئے آپ past کا استمعال کر سکتے ہیں منٹ کے بعد 

For minutes 31-59 we use TO after the minutes.
٣٠-٥٩ منٹ کے لئے TO کا استمعال کرتے ہیں 

2:35 - It's twenty-five to three
11:20 - It's twenty past eleven
4:18 - It's eighteen past four
8:51 - It's nine to nine
2:59 - It's one to three

When it is 15 minutes past the hour we normally say: (a) quarter past
جب ١٥ منٹ رہتے ہیں گھنٹہ ہونے کے لئے تو ہم بول سکتے ہیں  (a) quarter past

7:15 - It's quarter past seven
When it is 15 minutes before the hour we normally say: a quarter to

12:45 - It's quarter to one
When it is 30 minutes past the hour we normally say: half past

3:30 - It's half past three (but we can also say three-thirty)

Note:

1. O'clock
We use o'clock when there are NO minutes.
جب کوئی منٹ نہیں ہوتا ہے تو ہم o'clock بولتے ہیں 

10:00 - It's ten o'clock
5:00 - It's five o'clock
1:00 - It's one o'clock
Sometimes it is written as 9 o'clock (the number   o'clock)


2. For 12:00 there are four expressions in English.
12:00 بجے کو ہم انگریزی میں چار طریقوں سے بتا سکتے ہیں 
12:00
Twelve o'clock 
Midday = noon 
Midnight
