Writing time and date
Give some examples how to write clock times and dates if it differs from English. In Italy they use the 24 hour clock like the military time.
First: the day Second: the month Third: the year
For example: 23/1/2005
And also in letters:
23 gennaio 2005
To write clock times:
The hour . The minutes
For example: 6.43
You read: sei e quarantatre
