A2 listening catches three kinds of time. The routine, heard in the present simple with frequency words: I usually get up at seven. The clock, in two dressings: seven fifteen, or quarter past seven. And the arrangement, the present continuous carrying the future: I am meeting Ana on Friday. Three clocks on the wall. Know which one you are listening to, and you know what to do next.
A2 听力抓三种时间：习惯（一般现在时配频率词）、钟点（7.15 或 quarter past seven 两种说法）、约定（现在进行时表将来）。 墙上三座钟，先认出在听哪一座。
A routine is a habit heard in the present simple, and the frequency words ride in the middle. Always is a hundred percent: she always walks to school. Usually is most days: I usually drink tea. Often, sometimes, and then never, the zero. The frequency word sits before the main verb but after the verb be: she is always late. And listen for the s on he, she and it verbs: walks, drinks, plays. That little sound is the sound of routine.
习惯用一般现在时，频率词骑在中间：主句动词之前、be 动词之后。 always 百分之百，never 零。 再听第三人称单数的 s：walks、drinks——那就是习惯的声音。
Times arrive in two dressings. The digital style says seven fifteen. The friendly style looks at the minute hand: quarter past seven, half past seven, quarter to eight.
时间有两种说法：7.15 读 seven fifteen 或 quarter past seven；7.30 是 half past；7.45 是 quarter to eight。
Past means the hand has passed this hour; to means it is climbing to the next.
past 表示已过，to 表示未到。
And the trap pair: quarter past seven is seven fifteen, but quarter to seven is six forty-five. One word, different mornings.
陷阱：quarter to seven 是 6 点 45，不是 7 点 45。
The present continuous can carry the future. I am meeting Ana on Friday: an arrangement, a plan with a time already fixed.
现在进行时可以装将来：I am meeting Ana on Friday 是已定时间的约定。
The sound of it: am, is or are, a verb with ing, and a future time word.
听标志：am/is/are + 动词 ing + 将来时间词。
Compare the routine: I meet Ana on Fridays, every Friday, against I am meeting Ana on Friday, this one.
对比：on Fridays 每周五是习惯；on Friday 这周五是一次约定。
In listening, the time word tells you which clock you are on: every means routine, and on a day or at a time, once, means arrangement.
时间词告诉你钟在哪座上。
Watch out for three traps. First, do not hear every ing as happening now: with a future time word, it is a plan. Second, on Friday is one Friday, and on Fridays is every Friday; the letter s is the whole calendar. Third, past and to decide the hour: quarter past seven and quarter to seven sound one word apart, but they are forty-five minutes apart in the morning.
三个陷阱：见 -ing 别都当成现在，配将来时间词就是计划；on Friday 一次、on Fridays 每周，一个 s 就是整本日历；past 和 to 决定钟点，quarter past 和 quarter to 只差一个词。
Check yourself. Place the frequency word: she is late, with always, goes where?
自测：always 插在哪里？
Say the friendly style of seven forty-five and three thirty.
7.45 和 3.30 的友好说法？
Is they are visiting Grandma on Sunday a routine or an arrangement?
They are visiting Grandma on Sunday 是习惯还是约定？
And catch the trap: on Friday versus on Fridays.
on Friday 和 on Fridays 差在哪？
If the three clocks sort themselves, the listening is done.
三座钟分得清，听力就过关。
