Let's solve each of the analog clocks in the worksheet step by step. The goal is to
read the time shown on each clock and write it both in
words (e.g., "Half past seven") and in
digital format (e.g., 7:30).
We are told:
- The
shorter hand (hour hand) tells the hour.
- The
longer hand (minute hand) tells the minutes.
- All clocks show
half an hour, meaning the minute hand is pointing at
6, which represents
30 minutes.

🔹 Clock 1 (Example)
- Hour hand: between 7 and 8 → closer to 7
- Minute hand: pointing at 6 → 30 minutes
- Time:
Half past seven
- Digital:
7:30
✔ Already done.

🔹 Clock 2
- Hour hand: pointing at 3
- Minute hand: pointing at 6 → 30 minutes
- Time:
Half past three
- Digital:
3:30
---
🔹 Clock 3
- Hour hand: pointing at 7
- Minute hand: pointing at 6 → 30 minutes
- Time:
Half past seven
- Digital:
7:30
> Note: This is the same as the first one, just different position.

✔ Final Answers:
| Clock | Words | Digital |
|-------|------------------------|---------|
| 1 | Half past seven | 7:30 |
| 2 | Half past three | 3:30 |
| 3 | Half past seven | 7:30 |
| 4 | Half past one | 1:30 |
| 5 | Half past twelve | 12:30 |
| 6 | Half past nine | 9:30 |
| 7 | Half past four | 4:30 |
| 8 | Half past eight | 8:30 |
| 9 | Half past five | 5:30 |
| 10 | Half past ten | 10:30 |
| 11 | Half past two | 2:30 |
| 12 | Half past eleven | 11:30 |

📝 Explanation:
- Since all clocks show the
minute hand at 6, that means
30 minutes have passed.
- The
hour hand points to the hour, or halfway between two hours if it's exactly half-past.
- In this case, since it's always exactly on a number (not between), we read it directly.
- So, for any clock where the hour hand is at `X` and the minute hand at 6 → time is
"Half past X" or
X:30.
