    Five past six is what they taught me in English lessons back in the day :) that is the “proper” Way to say it in British English.

    01-29 minutes are past the hour, 30 is half past the hour, 31-59 are to the hour (ex. 20 minutes to 7).

    You could also be a smart ass and say it in US military style - oh six hundred and five.
