Telling minutes

In previous lessons, you’ve learned the basics of telling time in Japanese, focusing on hours. Today, we’ll build on that knowledge by learning how to add minutes to the time. Specifically, we’ll focus on times that end in number 0 and 5 minutes.

Basic Structure for Telling Time:

Hours (じ - ji)

Minutes (ぷん/ふん - pun or fun)

For times ending in 0 :
Combine Number (hour) + じ (ji) + Number (minutes) + っぷん (ppun)
Example : はちじにじゅっぷん　(Hachi ji nijyuppun)　ー 8:20

For times ending in 5 :
Combine Number (hour) + じ (ji) + Number (minutes) + ふん (fun)
Example : はちじにじゅうごふん　(Hachi ji nijyuugo fun)　ー 8:25

Instruction: Can you try to create a sentence "I have .... class at ....." by adding the time above to the sentence you have created on the previous page? Remember, you MUST add the particle "に ni" next to the time.

....., I have ..... class at ....:....

​(time expression), (hour)じ(minutes)ふん・っぷんに(class)のじゅぎょうがあります
​(time expression), (hour)ji (minutes)fun/ppun ni (class) no jyugyou ga arimasu

​Time expression :
いま　ima : Right now/now
きょう　kyou : Today
あした　ashita : Tomorrow
あさって　asatte : The day after tomorrow

You can replace あります (arimasu) with ありません (arimasen) to say
"I don't have ..."
