Chapter 5

Time

Reading a clock, the hour and minute hands, half past, and the days of the week and months of the year — with an interactive exercise.

We tell the time and name the days and months.

The clock

A clock has two hands. The short hand shows the hour; the long hand shows the minutes. "Half past 2" means 30 minutes after 2 o'clock.

Days and months

There are 7 days in a week and 12 months in a year.

Remember

  • Short hand = hour, long hand = minutes.
  • 7 days in a week, 12 months in a year.
