2. What is it? a.ka. the military time.
schedules for trains, buses, T.V., radio shows, and other official events use the 24-hour clock
also differentiates between the a.m. the p.m—don’t need it when you use the 24-Uhr

3. In German…
The hour and minutes are separated by a period, not a colon.
z.B.  = 1 PM
When writing the official time, state the hour, then the minutes past the hour  never use “nach”, “vor”, or “halb” or “Viertel”
z.B 
13.20 = Es ist 13 Uhr 20.
18.50 = Es ist 18 Uhr 50.

4. The conversions…
When using the 24-hour clock, you count from 1 to 24 (the first hour of the day is 1 Uhr, the 17th hour is 17 Uhr)
Add the number of the hour to 12 to get the military time.
1 = = 19
2 = = 20
3 = = 21
4 = = 22
5 = = 23
6 = = 0/24

5. To convert back to standard time…
Subtract 12
z.B. Es ist 19 Uhr.
--12
=7:00
Therefore, = 11 pm.
If it were 11 am, it would be written as 11.00
Es ist 9 Uhr using the 24 Uhr would be a.m., but 9 Uhr at night would have to be 21 Uhr.

6. More examples… To say 1:30 p.m. using the 24 Uhr it would be….
13.30 (Es ist 13 Uhr dreißig.)
To say 5:45 p.m. using the 24 Uhr, it would be …
17.45 (Es ist 17 Uhr fünfundvierzig)

7. 24/0 23 13 12 11 1 22 14 10 2
8:25 p.m
Would be 20.25
7:40 pm
Would be 19.40
3:15 p.m.
Would be 15.15
6:30 a.m.
Would be 6.30 . 9 21 15 3 8 4 20 16 7 5 6 17 19 18
