Of course! Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The task is to match each digital clock display with its correct verbal description, focusing on "o'clock" and "half past" times.
We’ll go through each clock one by one.
---
1. Clock: 2:00 AM
- This is “two o’clock in the morning.”
- “Half past two” would be 2:30, so that’s incorrect.
✔ Correct choice:
TWO O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING
---
2. Clock: 12:00 PM
- 12:00 PM is noon — midday, not morning.
- So it’s “twelve o’clock in the afternoon.”
✔ Correct choice:
TWELVE O’CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON
---
3. Clock: 15:30 PM
- 15:30 in 24-hour time = 3:30 PM.
- “Half past three in the afternoon” is correct.
- “Half past fifteen” is not standard English — we don’t say “fifteen o’clock” in casual speech.
✔ Correct choice:
HALF PAST THREE IN THE AFTERNOON
---
4. Clock: 8:30 AM
- This is “half past eight in the morning.”
- “Eight o’clock” would be 8:00, not 8:30.
✔ Correct choice:
HALF PAST EIGHT IN THE MORNING
---
5. Clock: 10:30 AM
- This is “half past ten in the morning.”
- “Half past ten in the afternoon” would be 10:30 PM — incorrect.
✔ Correct choice:
HALF PAST TEN IN THE MORNING
---
6. Clock: 18:00 PM
- 18:00 = 6:00 PM → “six o’clock in the afternoon.”
- “Eighteen o’clock” is technically correct in 24-hour format, but the worksheet asks for common verbal expressions like “o’clock” and “half past,” so “six o’clock” is preferred.
✔ Correct choice:
SIX O’CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON
---
7. Clock: 7:00 AM
- Clearly “seven o’clock in the morning.”
- Not afternoon.
✔ Correct choice:
SEVEN O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING
---
8. Clock: 13:30 PM
- 13:30 = 1:30 PM → “half past one in the afternoon.”
- “One o’clock” would be 1:00, not 1:30.
✔ Correct choice:
HALF PAST ONE IN THE AFTERNOON
---
✔ Final Answers:
| Digital Time | Correct Verbal Description |
|--------------|---------------------------------------------|
| 2:00 AM | TWO O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING |
| 12:00 PM | TWELVE O’CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON |
| 15:30 PM | HALF PAST THREE IN THE AFTERNOON |
| 8:30 AM | HALF PAST EIGHT IN THE MORNING |
| 10:30 AM | HALF PAST TEN IN THE MORNING |
| 18:00 PM | SIX O’CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON |
| 7:00 AM | SEVEN O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING |
| 13:30 PM | HALF PAST ONE IN THE AFTERNOON |
You can now confidently select the correct blue box under each clock!
