Well Done. That was not too hard was it! Let us
see what we need to remember.

Things to remember
The minute hand is the long hand and the short
hand is the hour hand
We use the numbers and the hands on the clock
to tell the time
If the minute hand is on 6 it is half past
the hour
When the minute hand is on the 3 it is quarter
past the hour
For it to be quarter to the hour the minute
hand will be on the 9
