Great job, as always. :)
It´s almost seven thirty. (Fifteen minutes before almost seven thirty would be about fourteen minutes after seven. Thirty minutes before almost seven thirty would be almost seven or one minute before seven.)It´s twenty minutes past seven. It´s nine minutes to seven and a half. It was six minutes past seven, fifteen minutes ago. It was nine minutes to seven, thirty minutes ago.
Saludos,

No need for a space in "it's."
If it is now twenty minutes past seven, then the following would be accurate:
It's almost seven thirty. It's twenty minutes past seven. It's nine ten minutes to before (or until) seven and a half thirty. It was five minutes past seven fifteen minutes ago. It was ten minutes to seven thirty minutes ago.
Your spelling and grammar are great. Just a little confusion with the mathematics.
Keep going, you are doing great!
It's almost seven thirty. It's about twenty minutes past seven. It's specifically nine minutes to until half past seven and a half. It was six minutes past seven, fifteen minutes ago. It was nine minutes to seven, thirty minutes ago.
I put 'about' and 'specifically' in to make it clear what time it is.
Hola Mauricio,
casi perfecto uno ccorreccion nine minutes to seven thirty or nine minutes to half past seven.
adelante
GREAT JOB!!!!
The word "It's" does not have a space between the apostrophe (') and the letter s. Perhaps you already know this, but it was possibly the way the punctuation application inserted it. I was having a problem with the accent symbols in writing Spanish on here as well.
Like someone else stated before, the time does not quite add up correctly. You were off a minute.
There are only a few minor things to change in order to make this sound more appropriate.
It's almost seven thirty. It's twenty minutes past seven. It's nine ten minutes to until seven thirty. seven and a half. It was six five minutes past seven, fifteen minutes ago. It was nine ten minutes to seven, thirty minutes ago.
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot add anything that has not already been said. I will repeat one thing: you are doing a great job, keep it up!
It' s should be it's.
It's nine minutes before seven thirty.
It´s almost seven thirty. It´s twenty minutes past seven. It´s nine minutes to seven and a half. It was six minutes past seven, fifteen minutes ago. It was nine minutes to seven, thirty minutes ago.
It's twenty one minutes past seven OR it's seven twenty one. Otherwise, very good.
Hi Mauricio
My suggestions - just to make the numbers add up!!
It's almost seven thirty. It is exactly twenty one minutes past seven. It's nine minutes until seven thirty. It was six minutes past seven, fifteen minutes ago. It was nine minutes to seven, thirty minutes ago.
Must be time to change your picture! J ;)
