Time-telling worksheet for children with exercises on reading and writing time, featuring cartoon characters.

Let’s solve this step by step.

---

Part 1: Complete the table — “Tell the time”

We need to write the time in words, like the example:
> 4:20 pm → It’s twenty past four in the afternoon.

Remember:
- am = morning (before noon)
- pm = afternoon/evening (after noon)

---

Row 1: Already done as example

---

Row 2: 8:30 am

→ Half past eight in the morning.
*(Because 30 minutes = half an hour, and am = morning)*

---

Row 3: 10:15 am

→ Fifteen past ten in the morning.
*(Or “a quarter past ten” — both are correct, but let’s use “fifteen past” to match the style of the example which used “twenty past”)*

---

Row 4: 2:45 pm

→ Forty-five past two? No — we usually say “quarter to three” for 2:45. But since the example said “twenty past four”, maybe they want literal minutes.

Wait — let’s check:
The example was “twenty past four” for 4:20 → that’s 20 minutes after 4.

So for 2:45 → it’s 45 minutes after 2 → “forty-five past two in the afternoon”

But in real life, we often say “quarter to three”. However, since the worksheet uses “twenty past”, let’s stick with the same pattern.

Actually — looking again at the example:
“It’s twenty past four in the afternoon.” → So they’re using “past” for minutes up to 30, and probably “to” for over 30? Wait no — 2:45 is 15 minutes before 3, so “quarter to three”.

But the worksheet doesn’t show any “to” examples. Let me think...

Actually, in British English (and the UK flag is there), they do use “past” and “to”:

- 2:45 = quarter to three
- 7:30 = half past seven
- 11:00 = eleven o’clock

But the example only shows “past”. Hmm.

Wait — look at the instruction: “Complete.” and the example is “It’s twenty past four...”

Maybe they just want us to say the minutes + “past” + hour, even if it’s more than 30? That would be unusual.

Alternatively, perhaps they expect standard phrasing.

Let me check common usage:

- 2:45 pm → “It’s a quarter to three in the afternoon.” OR “It’s forty-five past two in the afternoon.” — both are technically correct, but “quarter to three” is more natural.

But since the worksheet gave “twenty past four” for 4:20, and didn’t use “to”, maybe they want consistency.

Wait — actually, 4:20 is less than 30, so “past” makes sense. For 2:45, which is more than 30, we usually switch to “to”.

I think for accuracy and natural language, we should use:

- 2:45 pm → “It’s a quarter to three in the afternoon.”

Similarly:

- 7:30 pm → “It’s half past seven in the evening.”
- 11:00 am → “It’s eleven o’clock in the morning.”

Let’s go with natural, commonly taught phrases.

So:

2:45 pm → It’s a quarter to three in the afternoon.
7:30 pm → It’s half past seven in the evening.
11:00 am → It’s eleven o’clock in the morning.

But wait — the example said “in the afternoon” for pm, and for 9 pm it said “in the evening”. So:

- Afternoon: roughly 12 pm to 6 pm
- Evening: 6 pm onwards

So 2:45 pm → afternoon
7:30 pm → evening
11:00 am → morning

Perfect.

Now back to 8:30 am → “half past eight in the morning”
10:15 am → “fifteen past ten in the morning” or “a quarter past ten” — let’s use “fifteen past” to match “twenty past” from example.

Actually, the example used “twenty”, not “a quarter”, so maybe avoid “quarter”.

So:

- 8:30 am → It’s thirty past eight in the morning? Or “half past”? “Half past” is very common.

Looking at the example: they wrote “twenty past”, not “twenty minutes past”, so “half past” is acceptable and standard.

I think it’s fine to use:

- 8:30 am → It’s half past eight in the morning.
- 10:15 am → It’s fifteen past ten in the morning.
- 2:45 pm → It’s a quarter to three in the afternoon. (since 45 min = 15 min to next hour)
- 7:30 pm → It’s half past seven in the evening.
- 11:00 am → It’s eleven o’clock in the morning.

Yes, that feels right.

Part 2: Draw the hands of the clock

We have to draw hour and minute hands for given times.

Recall:
- Minute hand: points to 12 for :00, 6 for :30, 3 for :15, 9 for :45
- Hour hand: moves gradually — for :30, it’s halfway between hours; for :45, it’s close to next hour.

Let’s go one by one.

First row:

1. 7:30
- Minute hand: points to 6 (because 30 minutes)
- Hour hand: halfway between 7 and 8

2. 4:00
- Minute hand: points to 12
- Hour hand: points to 4

3. 5:45
- Minute hand: points to 9 (because 45 minutes = 9 on clock)
- Hour hand: almost at 6, because 45 min is 3/4 of the way to 6

Second row:

4. 2:00
- Minute hand: 12
- Hour hand: 2

5. 4:00 (again)
- Same as above: minute hand 12, hour hand 4

Note: The last one has Donald Duck drawing — probably just decoration.

Now, since we can’t draw here, I’ll describe how to draw them.

But the question says “Draw the hands”, so in a real worksheet, you’d sketch them. Since this is text, I’ll specify positions.

For final answer, since it’s a completion task, I’ll list the written answers for Part 1 and describe the hand positions for Part 2.

But the user might expect the filled table and clock descriptions.

Since the instruction is to solve the problem, and Part 2 requires drawing, I’ll provide the descriptions so the student knows what to draw.

Finalizing Part 1 answers:

Table:

| Time | Written form |
|----------|--------------------------------------------------|
| 4:20 pm | It’s twenty past four in the afternoon. |
| 8:30 am | It’s half past eight in the morning. |
| 10:15 am | It’s fifteen past ten in the morning. |
| 2:45 pm | It’s a quarter to three in the afternoon. |
| 7:30 pm | It’s half past seven in the evening. |
| 11:00 am | It’s eleven o’clock in the morning. |

For Part 2:

Clocks:

1. 7:30 → Minute hand on 6, hour hand halfway between 7 and 8.
2. 4:00 → Minute hand on 12, hour hand on 4.
3. 5:45 → Minute hand on 9, hour hand close to 6 (three-quarters of the way from 5 to 6).
4. 2:00 → Minute hand on 12, hour hand on 2.
5. 4:00 → Minute hand on 12, hour hand on 4.

All set.

Final Answer:

Part 1: Completed Table

- 8:30 am → It’s half past eight in the morning.
- 10:15 am → It’s fifteen past ten in the morning.
- 2:45 pm → It’s a quarter to three in the afternoon.
- 7:30 pm → It’s half past seven in the evening.
- 11:00 am → It’s eleven o’clock in the morning.

Part 2: Clock Hands Description

- For 7:30: Draw minute hand pointing at 6, hour hand halfway between 7 and 8.
- For 4:00: Draw minute hand pointing at 12, hour hand pointing at 4.
- For 5:45: Draw minute hand pointing at 9, hour hand close to 6 (about three-quarters of the way from 5 to 6).
- For 2:00: Draw minute hand pointing at 12, hour hand pointing at 2.
- For 4:00 (second one): Same as first 4:00 — minute hand at 12, hour hand at 4.
