Japanese Time Quiz: Clock Times, Questions and Time Markers
Time expressions can identify a clock time, a starting point or a limit. Read exactly what the question asks before typing a number or a Japanese expression. A question about when is different from one about how long.
Before you start
何時 asks for a clock time. An exact time often takes に in a sentence such as 三時に出ます. から marks a starting point and まで marks an endpoint. When you read a short schedule, check whether the stated time belongs to opening, closing, departure or arrival instead of copying the first number you see.
Pay attention to exceptional hour readings such as よじ, しちじ and くじ. If the prompt asks only for a particle, give the particle rather than the whole sentence. The linked reading quiz provides longer notices after you have checked these short patterns.
