If I work in the morning I wake up at seven if not at six
It depends on whether I need to go to university around eight-thirty in the morning
Then on Sundays maybe around ten or eleven
Nice question It depends— if I'm working then by ten at the latest if not whenever it happens
So well sometimes

And what time do you have breakfast
At eight twenty
Well actually I don’t always manage breakfast but usually about half an hour after I wake up
Around seven thirty
Well right after that I mean as soon as I wake up
I'll have breakfast first then get dressed
So I usually wake up at seven because I work outside Milan
And so I usually have breakfast at nine which is when I get
to work Otherwise I get hungry—meaning if I eat too early

How do you say the time in Italian
In Italian hours are plural so we say le due le tre le quattro le cinque and so on
But there's an hour that isn't plural—just one—so we'll say one o'clock
Singular is one plural are two three four and so on
For the minutes after the hour we say for example it's two oh five it's two ten it's two twenty it's two twenty-five
Then it's a quarter past two then half past it's two thirty
For the other minutes we say fewer so it's five to three ten to three twenty to three twenty-five to three and a quarter to three
We can ask what time it is and we can answer: it's two it's three it's four it's two ten it's twenty to four
What time is it now
It's seven thirty-five now
And what time is it now
It's now eight ten in the evening so twenty hundred hours
Eight-fifteen in the evening
Another very important question we've asked many times today is at what time
At what time
At what time do you do something
The answer I
have breakfast at
nine I go to
work at nine-thirty
Here too the singular form is used for one o'clock but for all other hours the plural form is used—two o'clock three o'clock and so on
At two o'clock it's two at three o'clock it's three and so on
