Hello!
If we had this conversation:
"Jhon:It is 09:00 p.m here at this moment, and there?"
"Mary:Here it is 08:00 p.m at present".
Then would it be correct to say:
"Jhon: Okay, so here it is one hour earlier(than there)".?
And:
"Mary: So, here it is one hour later(than there)".?
Thank you very much in advance.

m. m. in both places then you'd just say "It's 9" or "It's 9 o'clock".

This is a more natural conversation:
John: "It's 9 p.m. here; what time is it there?"
Mary: "8 p.m."
(If it was obviously p.m. in both places then you'd just say "It's 9" or "It's 9 o'clock". As an alternative to "9 p.m.", some people would more naturally say "nine in the evening".)
Then John might say: "OK, so it's one hour later here..." (9 p.m. is lat
