Would you say "what time is it now" as What time is it now? This sentence is actually wrong, because we ask others what time it is, and we do not ask "what time is yesterday" or "what time is tomorrow". Asking a few points is definitely asking now, so foreigners think that adding now is superfluous.
The correct expression is:
①What time is it？
②Do you have the time？
③What's the time?
So if someone asks us about time, how should we answer? Next, let's learn the English expression of time: the expression methods of time in English mainly include direct method and borrowed preposition method.
1. Direct method:
8am eightam eight am (a.m.)
9pm nine pm (p.m.)
Six points six six
Six thirty-two six thirty two
Eight o'clock is eight o'clock
2. Borrow the prepositional method
Eight:45 a quarter to nine
Seven:05 a.m. live past seven
Seven point fifty-fourix to eight
Half past six at six
3. The usage of the punctuality
We can use these expressions when we represent general punctuality: for example, at 11 o'clock sharp or at 11 o'clock on the hour can also be used at 11 o'clock on the strike.
At noon can be used when it means 12 noon; at midnight at 12 midnight
So, if you want to express that there is not enough time, can you use The time isn't enough?
Of course not! Because only people feel that there is not enough time, if you say "The time isn't enough" becomes "time itself feels that there is not enough time"
Correctly expressed as:
①There isn't enough time.
②We don't have enough time.
