Let’s go clock by clock and read the time carefully.
Remember:
- The
short hand is the hour hand.
- The
long hand is the minute hand.
- Each number on the clock = 5 minutes for the minute hand.
- If the minute hand points to 12, it’s “o’clock”.
- If it points to 6, it’s half past (30 minutes).

- Minute hand points to 4 → that’s 20 minutes (4 × 5).
→ Time:
1:20
Clock 4:
- Hour hand is between 3 and 4 → so it’s 3 something.
