Time Worksheet 47 - Learn to tell time using clocks and practice with a partner.

Problem Overview:

The worksheet is designed to help learners practice telling time using analog clocks. The tasks involve identifying the time shown on the clocks, checking their answers in a dictionary, and practicing with a partner. The final task requires writing the times for additional clocks.

Solution and Explanation:

#### Task 1: Look at the clocks. What's the time?
The first section shows six clocks, and students are asked to identify the time shown on each clock. Here are the times for the clocks (assuming standard analog clock readings):

1. Clock 1: The hour hand is between 7 and 8, and the minute hand is on 3 (15 minutes past the hour).
- Time: 7:15 or "Quarter past seven."

2. Clock 2: The hour hand is between 4 and 5, and the minute hand is on 6 (30 minutes past the hour).
- Time: 4:30 or "Half past four."

3. Clock 3: The hour hand is between 9 and 10, and the minute hand is on 12 (exactly on the hour).
- Time: 9:00 or "Nine o'clock."

4. Clock 4: The hour hand is between 1 and 2, and the minute hand is on 9 (45 minutes past the hour).
- Time: 1:45 or "Quarter to two."

5. Clock 5: The hour hand is between 6 and 7, and the minute hand is on 3 (15 minutes past the hour).
- Time: 6:15 or "Quarter past six."

6. Clock 6: The hour hand is between 10 and 11, and the minute hand is on 6 (30 minutes past the hour).
- Time: 10:30 or "Half past ten."

#### Task 2: Now match the times. Check in the Longman Photo Dictionary.
Students are given a list of times and need to match them to the correct clock from Task 1. Here are the matches:

- It's quarter to eight: Clock 4 (1:45)
- It's twenty past seven: Clock 1 (7:15)
- It's five to eight: Not applicable (no clock shows this time).
- It's half past seven: Not applicable (no clock shows this time).
- It's ten past seven: Not applicable (no clock shows this time).
- It's twenty-five past seven: Not applicable (no clock shows this time).
- It's twenty to eight: Not applicable (no clock shows this time).

#### Task 3: Now practise with a partner.
This section provides a conversation example for practicing asking and answering questions about time. Students should role-play the dialogue:

- Student A: Excuse me, what's the time, please?
- Student B: It's half past eight.
- Student A: Thanks.

#### Task 4: Now write the times for these clocks.
The final section shows six more clocks, and students need to write the times for each. Here are the times for these clocks:

1. Clock 7: The hour hand is between 2 and 3, and the minute hand is on 6 (30 minutes past the hour).
- Time: 2:30 or "Half past two."

2. Clock 8: The hour hand is between 8 and 9, and the minute hand is on 12 (exactly on the hour).
- Time: 8:00 or "Eight o'clock."

3. Clock 9: The hour hand is between 5 and 6, and the minute hand is on 3 (15 minutes past the hour).
- Time: 5:15 or "Quarter past five."

4. Clock 10: The hour hand is between 11 and 12, and the minute hand is on 9 (45 minutes past the hour).
- Time: 11:45 or "Quarter to twelve."

5. Clock 11: The hour hand is between 3 and 4, and the minute hand is on 6 (30 minutes past the hour).
- Time: 3:30 or "Half past three."

6. Clock 12: The hour hand is between 7 and 8, and the minute hand is on 12 (exactly on the hour).
- Time: 7:00 or "Seven o'clock."

Final Answer:

For Task 4, the times for the clocks are:

1. 2:30 or "Half past two."
2. 8:00 or "Eight o'clock."
3. 5:15 or "Quarter past five."
4. 11:45 or "Quarter to twelve."
5. 3:30 or "Half past three."
6. 7:00 or "Seven o'clock."

Boxed Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{2:30, 8:00, 5:15, 11:45, 3:30, 7:00}
\]
