Dear all,
When the time is 10 minutes past 9 o'clock, you say "It's nine ten".
Then, when you need to tell the strict time, say, 25 seconds past 9:10, do you say, "It's nine ten twenty-five"? If you don't, how do you say it?
In my native language, Japanese, it's easy to say it. However, I haven't even think of how to say it in English until recently.
This is a question a biginning level learner asked me, which I coudn't answer.
Thank you!
