A. In the first exercise, students must tell their partner with time it is (they are each given six times of day each including am/pm times) The person asking for the time should record the answers so that after both students have read aloud their times the students can compare lists to see if they were correct!
B. In the second exercise, students practice asking and answering at what time specific events occur such as mealtimes, classes etc. The other student answers for themselves. Students should ask at least three questions each.
