SONG 1 - People Are Strange - the Doors


                  When you're strange               Faces come out of the rain

                  IF       Clause                                Main Clause 

We can make a zero conditional sentence with two present simple verbs 

• If + present simple, .... present simple.

This conditional is used when the result will always happen. It's a fact. I'm talking in general, not about one particular situation. The result of the 'if clause' is always the main clause.

The 'if' in this conditional can usually be replaced by 'when' without changing the meaning.

More to time than 1 o´clock , 2 o´clock ...

While doing my daily surfing I  read a very interesting article/lesson yesterday about time, more specifically how to tell the time and expressions.

USAGE 1 - o,clock means literally of the clock. It is used to tell the exact whole time. It doesn't include minutes. Unless you say , ' It's 9 o'clock and 10 min  ' You can't say it's 9:10  o'clock .

😊What time is it ?

😄It's 9 o'clock (you can add 'in the morning' or ' at night ' , if it's not obvious that it is ) .

USAGE 2 - a.m /p.m  which mean before noon(12p.m) and after noon (sic)  or  past noon.

 😊What time is it ? 

 😁 It's 10 p.m. or 10:15 p.m ( now you can add the minutes to your hearts delight BUT no o'clock)

       It's 10 at night . Or it's 10 . Or It's 10 :15  at night  or it's 10 .


USAGE 3- Parts of the day .MORNING AFTERNOON  EVENING NIGHT   


I love this USAGE . We can say
                                         😀GOOD MORNING!
                                                      😅GOOD AFTERNOON
                                                                  😏GOOD EVENING .....mean 'HI' but       

😈 GOOD NIGHT ......means  'BYE!'


Evening and night period definitions are a bit weird too. In most languages , according to the Collins Cobuild Dictionary , it's just translated as 'night'. The Collins also doesn't stipulate a time when evening begins or ends. It's defined as a time between  sunset and the time you go to sleep. Although if you are a late sleeper 11 p.m is night and not evening. So I guess the normal run of the mill understanding would be that between 6 p.m and 8 p.m would be evening.


So have a good night's rest and don't forget to do some reading in the evening before you go to bed.
