Foreigners often make some strange mistakes in Chinese when they study the most difficult language--- ---Chinese. We try to analyze typical sentences to correct these errors.
Xiànzài yǐjīng 10 fēn guò 16 diǎn le.
False: 现在已经10分过16点了。
Xiànzài yǐjīng 16 diǎn guò 10 fēn le.
True: 现在已经16点过10分了。
“10分过16点”是ten past sisteen的直译，应按照汉语时间的表示方法改成“16点过10分”。
10分过16点 is the literal translation of "ten past sisteen". One should change it into 16点过10分 in line with the Chinese way of expressing time.
