すみません: Excuse Me

Ok so I had a very busy day yesterday and ended up not posting for this blog. Again I am very sorry for those who where expecting something to pop up soon. So for today's post I will explain more sentence structure today. Today I will teach how to place time in a sentence, be it telling time or doing something at a certain time. 

Time is read like so: 1-oclock or いちじ. じ stands for hour so you would place the number then hour.
Now in a sentence.
It is one oclock.
いま は いちじ です。
By the way, いま means "now"

To ask for the time is using nan/nani added before the じ to explain what time. Then to make a sentence you simply add a か at the end of です.

Example:
いま は なんじ ですか。

What time is it now?

Ok so now we can say what time it is! 

I will leave it at that. 

Vocab:
student がくせい
um... - あの
now - いま
English Language - ええご
yes - ええ
P.M. - ごご
A.M. -ごぜん
teacher/professor - せんせい
That's right - そうです
friend - ともだち
Japan - にほん
.. year student - 〜ねんせい
yes (in agreement) - はい

As my custamary goodbyes ar almost known I will no longer provide the translation for them. じゃまた!
