Clocks

In our world we have digital clocks and clocks with hands.

Digital Clocks

Digital Clocks show us the time using numbers. The number on the left of the : is Hours, and the number on the right is Minutes:


12 Hours and 38 Minutes		12 Hours and 45 Minutes

Clocks can also use hands to show us the Hours and Minutes.

The Little Hand shows the Hours:


2 Hours		5 Hours

The Big Hand shows the Minutes:


30 Minuites or Half-Past		15 Minutes or Quarter-Past

Using both the Big Hand and Little Hand lets us know exactly what time it is:
