A clock has a short hand for hours and a long hand for minutes. When the long hand points to 12, it is exactly that hour — like 3 o'clock!
3:00
When the long hand is on the right side (1 to 6), we say 'past'. At 3:15 we say 'quarter past 3'. When the long hand is on the left side (7 to 11), we say 'to'. At 2:45 we say 'quarter to 3'.
| Clock shows | We say |
|---|---|
| 3:15 | Quarter past 3 |
| 3:30 | Half past 3 |
| 3:45 | Quarter to 4 |
| 4:10 | Ten past 4 |
| 4:50 | Ten to 5 |
We use time to plan our day! You might wake up at 6 o'clock in the morning, go to school at 7:30, eat lunch at noon (12 o'clock), and go to bed at 9 in the evening.

| 12:00 PM | Lunch break |
| 3:30 PM | School ends |
