Question

find out about: "o'clock" and "5 o'clock" and explain in a complex sentence.

Answer 1

O'clock" is a colloquial expression used to describe a specific time on a 12-hour clock, where the hour is indicated without any minutes or seconds; for example, "It's 5 o'clock" means that the time is exactly 5:00 hours. On the other hand, "5 o'clock" specifically refers to the time 5:00 hours, which is commonly used as a reference point for the start or end of a workday or for scheduling events and activities. This phrase has also become synonymous with the phrase "quitting time" or the end of the day, indicating that it is time to finish work and move on to leisure activities.
