Intermediate grammar exercise: Since, for, from
The first one is more natural if you are referring to an action that was in progress at 8 o'clock. But it is not possible to omit the subject in English, pronoun " I " in this case.
If you are referring to an action that was concluded before 8 o'clock, you should use Past Perfect and a different preposition, " by 8 o'clock" in this case.
E.g.: I had finished my homework by 8 o'clock last night.
Both sentences are syntactically incorrect, i.e. the word order is not respected.
You have two options: 1) to use a comma for emphasis: At 8 o'clock last night , I was doing my homework; 2) to put the whole adverbial phrase after the object: I was doing my homework at 8 o'clock last night .

Hello, Friends!
Telling time in English can be confusing. I’m happy to help! There are a few rules to remember, please:
As we know, there are 60 minutes in an hour. With minutes 1 – 29, we say it’s past (or after ) the hour. For example, “It’s ten past three”, or 3:10. Or another example, “It’s twenty after eight”, or 8:20. With minutes 31 – 59, we say to (the next hour). For example, when it’s 10:40, we say “It’s twenty to eleven” (Eleven minus twenty minutes). Or when it’s 3:50, we say “It’s ten to four” (Four minus ten minutes). Remember, it’s always correct to say “It’s 3:50”. But many times, you will hear people say “It’s ten to four”. English learners should be aware of that. And they should be comfortable using “past , after , and to ” to express time.
Like we said, there are 60 minutes in an hour. We divide our time in quarters and halves. It’s confusing at first, but it does make expressing time easier. At minute 15, we say it’s “ quarter past ”. Or we say, it’s “ quarter after ”. Both “ quarter past ” and “ quarter after ” are equally correct. So, when it’s 7:15, we say it’s “ quarter past seven”. Or when it’s 1:15, we say it’s “ quarter after one”. At minute 45, we say it’s “ quarter to ” the next hour. For example, at 5:45, we say it’s “ quarter to six” (or 15 minutes before 6:00). At minute 30, we say it’s “ half past ”. So at 9:30, we would say it’s “ half past nine” (or half an hour after 9:00). Again, please remember that it’s okay to say “It’s 7:15”. Or “It’s 5:45”. But you will definitely hear people say “It’s quarter after seven”. Or “It’s a quarter to six”. So I encourage you to get comfortable and confident expressing time in quarters and halves.
As we all know, there are 24 hours in a day. Hours 1 through 11 are pretty simple. In the 9th hour, we just say “It’s 9:00”. But hours 12 to 24 might be a little different than what other cultures are accustomed to. For hours 0 through 12, we call this “ A.M. ”. So for hour 7 (in the morning), we say “It’s seven A.M. ” (7:00 A.M.). For hours 12 to 24, we call this “ P.M. ”. So for example, at hour 14, we say “It’s two P.M .” Again, there are cultural differences that might make “ A.M .” and “ P.M .” a little confusing. For example, my Brasilian students told me that at the 17th hour, they say “It’s seventeen hundred.” We just say “It’s five P.M .” (5:00 P.M.).
*** It’s NOT important to know this. But “A.M.” stands for “Ante Meridiem” (Latin). And “P.M.” stands for “Post Meridiem” (also Latin).
At hour 12, we say it’s “ noon ”. You also sometimes hear people say “ midday ”. At hour 24, we say it’s “ midnight ”. “ Noon ” is 12:00 P.M. And “ midnight ” is 12:00 A.M. (The start of a new day or 24 hour cycle.)
At the beginning of each hour, we use the term “ o’clock ”. For example, “It’s one o’clock ” (1:00). Or “It’s four o’clock ” (4:00). A common mistake that I have noticed with English learners is that they will use the term “ o’clock ” at the wrong time. For example, we do NOT say “It’s six-thirty o’clock” (6:30). And we do NOT say “It’s eleven-fifteen o’clock” (11:15). We only say “ o’clock ” at the exact hour. For example, “It’s four o’clock ” (4:00). Or “It’s eight o’clock ” (8:00).
I hope this helps? Time is very important. And I hope you will be more confident and comfortable expressing time in English. If you have questions or comments, please let me know!
Thank you, friends!

PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Donald Trump recommitted to debating Vice President Kamala Harris after recently backing out, holding a lengthy news conference Thursday in which he taunted his new rival, boasted of his crowd on Jan. 6, 2021, and lashed out at questions about the enthusiasm her campaign has been generating.
Watch Trump’s remarks in our player above.
As the Republican presidential nominee addressed reporters at his Palm Beach, Florida, estate, ABC announced that Trump and Harris, the Democratic nominee, have agreed to a Sept. 10 debate, setting up a widely anticipated faceoff in an already unparalleled election. Trump said he had proposed three debates with three television networks in September.
Trump again insisted there had been a “peaceful transfer” of power in 2021 and renewed attacks on Republican rivals like Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, whom Trump has harshly criticized since Kemp refused to go along with his false theories of election fraud.
In taking questions from reporters for more than an hour, Trump tried to draw a contrast with Harris, who has not held a news conference since she became the likely Democratic nominee following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race.
Trump’s decision to go on ABC, days after posting on his social media account that he would not appear on the network, sets up a highly anticipated moment in an election where Biden’s catastrophic performance in the last debate set in motion his withdrawal.
“I think it’s very important to have debates,” Trump said Thursday. “I look forward to the debates because I think we have to set the record straight.”
A few hours after the news conference, Harris wrote on X that she heard Trump “has finally committed” to debate her on ABC on Sept. 10, the date her campaign has long stuck to.
“I look forward to it,” she wrote.
READ MORE: Trump and Harris have agreed to a Sept. 10 presidential debate on ABC, network says
Thursday’s event was Trump’s first public appearance since Harris selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate. Trump called Walz a “radical left man.”
“Between her and him, there’s never been anything like this,” Trump said. “There’s certainly never been anybody so liberal like these two.”
He repeatedly suggested Harris was not intelligent enough to debate him. Harris, for her part, has tried to goad Trump into debating and told an audience in Atlanta recently that if he had anything to say about her, he should “say it to my face.”
Trump grew visibly perturbed when pressed on Harris’ crowds and newfound Democratic enthusiasm, dismissing a question about his lighter campaign schedule as stupid.
Trump says he has not “recalibrated” his campaign despite facing a new opponent, a dynamic some Republican strategists have quietly complained about.
When asked what assets Harris possessed, Trump said: “She’s a woman. She represents certain groups of people.”
Trump has repeatedly — and falsely — accused Harris, the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants, of previously downplaying that she is Black.
Trump recognized some changing patterns with his new opponent, acknowledging he may not be as popular with Black women, one of Democrats’ key voting blocs. He expressed a lot of confidence in his support from Black men.
“It could be I’ll be affected somewhat with Black females but we’re really doing well,” he said. “And I think ultimately they’ll like me better because I’m going to give them security, safety and jobs. I’m going to give them a good economy.”
WATCH: After combative interview at NABJ convention, Trump faces new criticism
Trump campaign officials told reporters ahead of the news conference they believe Harris is currently enjoying a honeymoon period they likened to an “out-of-body experience.”
They argued the fundamentals of the race have not changed and the mood of the country remains sour, with Americans frustrated by the state of the economy, the administration and the country’s directions.
They argued that while Harris has energized the Democratic base — which Biden had not done — she will not be able to win over Republicans or convert independents or the persuadable voters they are focused on targeting.
Trump’s campaign plans to spend the next three months hammering Harris as “failed, weak and dangerously liberal,” blaming her for every one of the the Biden administration’s unpopular policies and mocking her mannerisms and speaking style.
Trump suggested abortion will not be a major issue in the campaign and the outcome in November.
He insisted that the matter “has become much less of an issue” since the Supreme Court ended the federal constitutional right to abortion services and returned control of the matter to state governments. But the issue is widely seen as a general election liability, and Trump named states such as Ohio and Kansas that have since voted to protect abortion rights.

Trump also said he expected Florida “will go in a little more liberal way than people thought” when it votes to repeal an abortion ban later this year, but he did not respond to questions asking how he would vote.
Trump argued that Democrats, Republicans and “everybody” are pleased with the results of the 2022 ruling that overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.
Trump’s actions within the GOP, however, suggest he knows that Democrats already have capitalized on Republican opposition to abortion rights and could do so again this fall. Trump single-handedly ensured that the Republican Party platform adopted at the 2024 convention in Milwaukee does not call for a national ban on abortion, and he has said repeatedly that hardliners in the party could cost the GOP in November.
The court’s decision, issued months ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, is widely cited as a reason that Democrats fared much better than expected in House and Senate contests. And Democrats have hammered Trump in paid advertisements blaming him and the justices he appointed for ending Roe.
Donald Trump falsely claimed during the press conference that “nobody was killed on Jan. 6,” the date in 2021 when pro-Trump rioters breached the U.S. Capitol amid Congress’ effort to certify Biden’s 2020 election victory after Trump refused to concede.
Ashli Babbitt, a 35-year-old Air Force veteran from San Diego was shot and killed by a police officer as she climbed through a broken part of a Capitol door during the violent riot that breached the building.
To be sure, Trump has often cited Babbitt’s death while lamenting the treatment of those who first attended a rally outside the White House that day, then marched to the Capitol, many of whom fought with police and entered the the building.

“I think those people were treated very badly. When you compare it to other things that took place in this country where a lot of people were killed,” Trump said Thursday, adding “nobody was killed on Jan. 6.”
He also falsely claimed more people attended his speech at a “Stop the Steal” rally before the riot than the famous March on Washington in 1963, the iconic event at which Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his “I Have a Dream” speech.
Trump was asked about Biden’s comments in a CBS interview that he was “not confident” there would be a peaceful transfer of power if Trump were to lose.
“He should have brought this up at the debate if he had a problem. Of course there’ll be a peaceful transfer, and there was last time.”
While Biden was inaugurated on schedule, Washington was on lockdown that day, with the streets patrolled by military personnel and domestic police two weeks after Trump’s supporters had attacked the Capitol.
Associated Press writer Will Weissert in Washington contributed to this report.

The former president’s prominence in news coverage has slipped since President Biden withdrew from the race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.
By Maggie Haberman
Donald J. Trump plans to hold a “general news conference” on Thursday afternoon at his private club and home, Mar-a-Lago, the first such event he has held in months.
Mr. Trump announced the event on his website, Truth Social, on Thursday morning.
The former president’s prominence in news coverage has slipped since President Biden abruptly announced last month that he was ending his re-election campaign and then endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who secured the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination this week.
Mr. Trump has been seeking ways to make headlines. But he has also sought to highlight how Ms. Harris has yet to give interviews and allow reporters to pose wide-ranging questions since she became a presidential candidate.
During Mr. Trump’s civil court cases in New York earlier this year, he sometimes held news conferences at a building he owns near the courthouse. But since his criminal trial started in Manhattan on April 15, he has not held any. He has also given relatively few interviews to mainstream news outlets.
Mr. Trump has been playing cat-and-mouse over a debate he had agreed to with Mr. Biden, which had been set to be hosted by ABC News in September. Ms. Harris said she planned to attend in Mr. Biden’s place, but Mr. Trump repeatedly suggested he would pull out of the debate. He then declared it was “terminated” and said he wanted a debate hosted by Fox News instead, but he had not discussed the terms of such a debate with Ms. Harris. Among the reasons he cited for not doing the ABC News debate was the fact that he is suing the network over comments by one of its anchors, George Stephanopoulos.
Mr. Trump sounded more open to the possibility of the ABC News debate in a telephone interview on “Fox and Friends” this week.
On Truth Social on Thursday morning, Mr. Trump promised to “expose” Ms. Harris during a debate.
