to come from school at 15 o'clock

I come from school at 15 o'clock every day!

Is it correct "come from"??
Do you use the 24 hours clock? or just the 12 hours clock?
  

Top answer

I come home from school at 3pm every day. No, I don't use 24 hour clock. I don't know anyone who does use 24 hour clock in normal everyday life.

  • I come home from school at 3pm every day.
  • No, I don't use 24 hour clock.
  • I don't know anyone who does use 24 hour clock in normal everyday life.
  • You normally only find it used by the military or similar services, or on printed timetables (for example train timetables) to avoid any confusion.
  • If you do want to use it, then you can't use o'clock with the times.

Wow, Nona!! at 15 hundred hours is so weird for a non native speaker Emotion: big smile

It's just like Nona said for the U.S. too.

Normal, every day conversation does NOT use the 24-hour clock. The military does, and says "thirteen hundred" or "thirteen hundred hours," but I have never used it outside of that context.
