Telling the Time from Analogue Clocks Worksheet - Free Sample ... - Free Printable

Let’s go clock by clock and figure out what time each one shows. We’ll look at where the hour hand (shorter) and minute hand (longer) are pointing.

---

Top Left Clock:
- Hour hand is pointing at 2.
- Minute hand is pointing at 12 → that means 00 minutes.
→ So, it’s two o’clock.

---

Top Middle Clock:
- Hour hand is between 4 and 5, closer to 5? Wait — actually, let’s check carefully:
- The hour hand is just past 4, because the minute hand is at 9 (which is 45 minutes).
- When the minute hand is at 9, it’s 45 minutes past the hour.
- So if the hour hand is near 5 but not quite there, it’s still in the 4 o’clock hour.
→ So, it’s quarter to five or four forty-five. But since the instruction says “write in words”, we can say:
Four forty-five

Wait — let’s double-check:
Minute hand at 9 = 45 minutes.
Hour hand has moved 3/4 of the way from 4 to 5 → yes, so it’s 4:45 → four forty-five

---

Top Right Clock:
- Hour hand is between 5 and 6, closer to 5? Let’s see:
- Minute hand is at 3 → that’s 15 minutes.
- So it’s 15 minutes past the hour.
- Hour hand is just past 5 → so it’s five fifteen.
→ Five fifteen

---

Bottom Left Clock:
- Hour hand is between 9 and 10, closer to 10?
- Minute hand is at 6 → that’s 30 minutes.
- So it’s half past the hour.
- Since the hour hand is halfway between 9 and 10, it’s half past nine.
→ Nine thirty

---

Bottom Middle Clock:
- Hour hand is between 1 and 2, closer to 2?
- Minute hand is at 9 → that’s 45 minutes.
- So it’s 45 minutes past 1 → which is also quarter to two.
- But again, writing in words: one forty-five

Check: Hour hand is almost at 2, but not yet → still in the 1 o’clock hour → correct.

---

Bottom Right Clock:
- Hour hand is pointing at 3.
- Minute hand is pointing at 12 → 00 minutes.
→ So, it’s three o’clock.

---

Now let’s list them all clearly:

1. Top left → two o’clock
2. Top middle → four forty-five
3. Top right → five fifteen
4. Bottom left → nine thirty
5. Bottom middle → one forty-five
6. Bottom right → three o’clock

Final Answer:
two o’clock
four forty-five
five fifteen
nine thirty
one forty-five
three o’clock
