Is it asking me to provide the current time at this precise moment?
Ms. Sue
Yes.
What time is it where you are? What time zone are you in?

It is 7:30 P.M. where I currently live. My family and I live in the Pacific Time Zone.

So then, when my textbook also asks what time it is in Greenwich, England, do I subtract eight hours from the current time of my city?
Ms. Sue
Your time is correct.
Add 8 hours to your time. It's now 3:30 A.M. Monday in Greenwich, England.

Can you explain why I should add to the current time? The link you provided for me stated that it -8 hours, so shouldn't I subtract?
Ms. Sue
To find Pacific time, you subtract 8 hours from Greenwich time.
Greenwich is next to London. Look up London in this chart to find its time.
