Discussion:Enseignement de l'anglais/l'heure
We also us "'til", short for until when telling time. as in "It's five 'til nine".
"What time do you make it?" is awkward and never used.
- Yes, it's very awkward. I'm not aware of its usage in any major dialect of English — certainly not in mine (Pacific Northwest), that's for sure. I would remove it myself, but I'm not sure how common and important the corresponding phrase Quelle heure as-tu ? is. Someone with a better knowledge of French should take care of it.

Dropping 'past' on the half hours[modifier le wikicode]
In the UK it is a common colloquial usage to drop the word 'past' in expressions like 'half past two' giving 'half two' for 02:30 or 14:30. Personally I don't like it (perhaps because I was taught German in the 70's), but it is heard quite often.
We also still use "What time do you make it?" by the way.
