General Information About World Time and Date

World Time Zones

Earth is split up into a number of timezones. Most timezones are exactly one hour apart, and by convention compute their local time as an offset from UTC or GMT. In many locations, these offsets vary twice yearly due to DST transitions.

Every country may have a particular standard time zone though, if it is more convenient for its world cooperation. The standard time zone is a region where the local or national authorities unify the time for a particular goal. The time zones obey specific rules referring to longitude.

Complete guide on world time zones

GMT and UTC

The implementation of Greenwich Mean Time was the first step to determine the time zone of other countries in regard to GMT+0, while the concept of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) was designed to provide a more accurate timekeeping system. Nevertheless, both of these time standards are widely used in the world for a similar purpose of time coordination.

The differences in the terminology of GMT and UTC still create confusion in international cooperation. Even though UTC was introduced as a more accurate time standard, the occurrence of the leap seconds demonstrated the flaws for the universal time synchronisation.

Learn more about the difference between GMT and UTC

Daylight Saving Time

The concept of Daylight Saving Time (DST) was proposed by Benjamin Franklin and refers to advancing the standard time within the region or zone by one hour to enhance the duration of daytime. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour in spring and backwards in autumn.

Consequently, a location observing UTC+3 during standard time is at UTC+4 during DST; a location at UTC−6 during standard time is at UTC−5 during DST. Clock shifts are usually scheduled on weekends to lessen disruption of weekday schedules.

How Daylight Saving Time works

AM/PM

These abbreviations are used to identify the time in the 12-hour clock format instead of using 24 hours. Considering that day has two cycles, AM and PM denote whether it is before or after the middle of a day.

AM/PM within the 12-hour time format is not effective way to indicate the precise time. There might be confusion regarding the time of a day as well as it can mislead in the date when midnight is not properly indicated. Considering that legal and other formal standards require the use of 24-hour convention.
What do AM and PM mean?

Updated February 2022 - let me know if there are any problems.

You can set this page as a homework task for a group of students; doing so will give you a record of who has completed the task. Visit the teacher's section for more information.

You can share this page by using the link below.

This is a mini-game to learn and practice telling the time in English. Students can interact with a clock to change the time and there is also a mini-game which involves matching a time phrase to a clock.

The first screen shows an analog clock displaying a time - initially 9 o'clock - and a pane below showing the matching time phrase. You can change the time on the clock by moving the clock hands or by clicking on the arrows at the bottom. As you change the time on the clock, the time phrase below gets updated. Moving the hour hand changes the time really quickly, but the minute hand is slower. It is only possible to display times at intervals of 5 minutes, and so the clock hands will align to the nearest 5 minutes.

On the second screen there is a mini-game. A text pane in the middle displays a time phrase eg. 3 o'clock. Then 3 clocks are shown above; each with a different time. To play the game, you have to click on the clock that matches the time phrase. This repeats about 20 times with increasingly precise times being shown. In order to complete the game, you have to choose the correct clock every time. If you make a mistake, then the game is lost and you have to start again from the beginning.

While playing the game, a cat is displayed in the bottom left of the screen, with a bridge infront of her. As you guess the clocks, the cat progresses across the bridge to the other side of the screen. But if you make a mistake, then the cat falls and returns to the beginning. There is nothing significant about the cat; it is just meant to be a visual progress aid. There is also a score box in the bottom right. Score is awarded based on how quickly you pick the correct clock. If you take too long, then no points are awarded at all.

The target language is time phrases, specifically:

Half past, quarter past, quarter to, five past/to, ten past/to, twenty past/to, twenty-five past/to.

These were chosen as they are the main phrases used to tell the time. I did not use more precise times, such as "2 minutes past", as this could have made the game overly complicated. Five minute intervals are really enough for most situations. Alternative wordings, such as "twelve thirty" or "eight forty-five" were avoided so as to keep things simple.

The aim of this game is to practice, or initally explore and learn, telling the time in English. The target audience is low level English learners. Telling the time, while important, is quite a straight forward skill and most elementary level learners should be able to tell the time quite easily. The first screen aims to present the target language, while the mini-game on the second screen is a means to practice and re-enforce the language.

This game is made with Javascript with the CreateJS framework. While primarily aimed at desktops, it should work on mobile phones and tablets. The reasons for remaking this game from the old 'clock' flash version are, firstly, that the old version was not very good - the appearance was not all that appealing, the game displayed in a small window and there was not much variance in the clocks being show. Secondly, the old version still seemed quite popular, despite being taken off the home page of the site and being buried with a bunch of other old games. Finally, telling the time is quite an essential skill for speaking english in everyday life and time phrases are really quite easy to represent visually. Learning to tell the time in English is something that anyone should be able to do by themselves. And so resources to do help with this, should be free and easily available online.
