Mr. and Mrs. Jones were going on their vacation with their children, and they must arrive at the
airport before 11:40 the next morning. "It takes us thirty minutes to get there in a car," Mr. Jones said,
"so we must get ready before eleven o'clock. Don't be late."

last night, I made all our clocks and watches twenty minutes ahead (提前). Now we can get to the
