"现在两点钟。"

Translation: It is two o'clock now.

[dcpetit]

"Now" is rather redundant in English when you're talking about time in the present tense, please make it optional.

[JamesBacon7]

and allow it at the start

[ChromateX]

Unless you're stressing you're being attentive to the time or answering a question.

[BeefTestos4]

No, no, you do not uderstand the omniimportance of "now' in this sentence. Without it, the person listening to me would not be able to discern wheter i am talking about what time is now but, say, 10 minutes ago or maybe even what time is it tomorrow.

[aparto]

Why is 钟 included in this sentence?

[SteveCarre3]

you don't need it, but it's bassically used to make sure you're talking about time, since 点 can mean a few things. Usually context is enough though, so don't frett about it

[crewcuts]

You don't need it.

[Janus159341]

"Right now it is two o'clock" should also be acceptable. There is no rule that "now" should be at the end.

[saracmk]

2:00 should be accepted

[jpolin]

"It's 2:00 now" should be accepted

[o-chefe]

Is 两 a proper word for time?

[Jonathan215308]

i believe you use 二 when its in the tens place (二十), optionally in the 100s place (二百/两百), or dates (二零一九). If it is 2 something you use 两 (两个，两点钟）

[CucumberMan06]

I dont know a lot but I'm pretty sure 两 is just a different way to write 二

[ArushiNara]

I just unscrambled the words in English that were provided to me as tiles. My solution was evaluated as correct - but it also prompted that I have a typo - something to do with the ' in the 'o clock of the tiles I unscrambled.
It doesn't impact my learning in any way, but just wanted to bring it to the attention of course developers to further improve the learner's experience!

[skydragat]

"It is now two o'clock" shouldn't be a typo.

[Lucius306531]

Somebody please explain the use of ”钟” in this case, thanks.

[matopl]

As I understand it, it's somewhat comparable to "o'clock" in English. It can basically be left out, just emphasizes a bit more that it is time we are talking about.

[Janus159341]

"Right now" and "now" both are said as 现在, so both should be accepted.

[thechuff]

Seriously? It is 2:00 now isn't accepted? XD

[yng_mch]

"It is 2 pm now" should be accepted too, right?

'It is exactly 2 o'clock now' is not accepted and '2' corrected to 'two'? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ seriously?!

[JacquiBarn1]

Because 整 means exactly, or sharp, and it isn't in the sentence

[TimothyVan831969]

It's now two oclock is an (perfectly) acceptable translation.

[Marin470782]

This sentence has appeared 3 times in the lesson, with 3 different translations. And the alternate translations are marked wrong.

[Marin470782]

Duolingo seems both inconsistent and inflexible in how they use 整； when it does or doesn't mean 'sharp' seems very unclear and not what I've learned elsewhere, where it is often used whenever you say what time it is.

[ZoliVaczi]

What's "o" in English?

[KarenECase]

The answer says "2 am" but there's nothing in the Chinese sentence to say it is morning.
