0no. you would only use o'clock if you were say 3 o'clock if you are refering to a half hour you would say half past 3 o'clock not 3:30 o''clock, normally you would only ever use o'clock in a more formal sense or sometimes in the title of a song i.e. It's 5"oclock somewhere.0-

0Half past three o'clock is wrong. It is either half past three or three thirty.O'clock is used with the numbers 1 to 12 when telling the time, to mean an exact hour. It is quite common not only in formal context but also in daily conversation.0-

Usually the context makes it clear -- if someone asks you to meet for tea, it's probably not at 3 a.m. But if you need to make it clear, omit the "o'clock" and say "3 a.m." or "3 p.m.", or "3 in the afternoon."

I was very curious myself as to where to put the a.m. on the half hour- 10:30 a.m. o'clock or 10:30 o'clock p.m. (sounds like a mouth full lol) - I can understand when you are referring only to the hour - Like 1 o'clock or 3 o'clock. But is it not proper to say 3 o'clock p.m. to clarify the time of day? Whether having tea or not. Once I was giving directives to a student, and I recall sayin

When writing a title of a book, do you write it Four O'clock or Four O'Clock?
