When to use Clock Time Expressions

Read hour + 点 + minutes as a sentence tool, not just as vocabulary. First locate the main action or claim, then ask what 点 adds to it.

会议三点开始。

The meeting starts at three.

我七点吃饭。

I eat at seven.

Common traps

  • Do not translate hour + 点 + minutes mechanically from English; check the Chinese word order first.
  • Keep 点 close to the part of the sentence it controls.
  • Do not overuse the pattern in every sentence; use it when it adds a clear role.
