Telling the exact time
|
|
Hello, Could you help me to choose the right phrase for emphasizing the exact time in a formal letter to my students � parents?
9 am sharp 9 am on the dot exactly at 9 am
Are any of these sound old-fashioned? And is there a better way to say the exact time?
Thank you!!! |

They are all good. "Exactly at 9 am" is the most formal. I wouldn �t call the other two informal, but they are a little less formal. None of them are old-fashioned. Bruce |
