897. Using the Colon with Time

We use a colon (:) between the hour and the minutes when writing time.
Two o’clock looks like this – 2:00
Eight minutes after two o’clock looks like this – 2:08
Fifteen minutes after two o’clock looks like this – 2:15
Thirty minutes after two o’clock looks like this – 2:30

When writing time, we place a colon (:) between the hour and the minutes.

Now you try it. Write the numeral with colon for this time – fourteen minutes after four o’clock
Did you figure it out? Did you write 4:14? Good for you!
