In time and out time

[tufguy]

Hi guys,

Please tell. Our in time of tye office is 6:30 and out time is 3:30. So can I say "I was still working and our out time had come" or "It had already been out time" or "Our in time or out time will happen after fifteen minutes"?

I have never heard of 'in time' and 'out time'.

You can say 'starting time' and 'finishing time'. Some also call it 'knocking-off time'.

Please explain, not please tell
'Time will happen..' is not correct. It is fifteen minutes to ...

Its fifteen minutes to finishing time or its been fifteen minutes since starting time. But how to write that "I was still working" sentence? Please explain.

'I was working overtime.'

I still do not understand what you mean to say.
Our start time is 6:30 and our quitting time is 3:30. Better: Our office hours are 6:30 am to 3:30 pm.
I was still working at quitting time.
At 3:15, you can say "It will be quitting time in 15 minutes." or "Fifteen minutes until quitting time."

But can I say(Suppose I am telling someone what happened yesterday at office)"It had already been our quitting time but I was still working(unaware of time).

It was past quitting time, but I was still working.
3:30 had already come and gone, and I was still working.
