Hello dear teachers
How can I ask if I am late?
Which one of the following choices is correct ? and if all are wrong, how can I express this question?

1- How late was I?
2- How long am I late?
3- How many hours am I late?
4- How much am I late?
5- How long am I late for?

Thank You In Advance!
 
#1 works and is the best choice.
#3 works, but hopefully you're not hours late often.

#4 might be something you'll hear, but I advise against using it in writing.

=== Thank You Very Much ===
 
If you have just arrived, then "How late am I?"
If you were late this morning and you wanted to ask the question after lunch (or later), then "How late was I [this morning]?"
