I like all kinds of films that interest me. but I mostly watch adventure, action, war, and those based on true stories. Although I love going to the cinema, I don't go often—just once a year.

Hello, dear teachers and team!

Could you please tell me if you use "a. m." and "p.m." with expressions like "a quarter to six", "half past five" etc.?

Thank you so much for your constant and precious help and I'm very grateful for the answer to this comment in advance!!!

Hello howtosay_,

No, we don't use 'a.m.' or 'p.m.' in those expressions, though you could say 'half past five in the morning' (or 'afternoon').

You can use them with round numbers ('seven p.m.') or fully-expressed times ('seven fifty-three p.m.'), though.

All the best,
Kirk

I like watch movies, but I rarely go to the cinema I usually watch in the house. There are many kinds of films which I like. I don't have favourite film. If I must to choose, I'll choose the horror film. comedy and drama.
