Clock reading

What time is it (in English)?

Clock reading

O'clock: used when the time is exactly on the hour (e.g., 3:00 is "three o'clock").

Quarter past: 15 minutes past the hour (e.g., 2:15 is "quarter past two").

Half past: 30 minutes past the hour (e.g., 4:30 is "half past four").

Quarter to: 15 minutes before the hour (e.g., 5:45 is "quarter to six").

AM/PM: used to indicate morning (AM) or afternoon/evening (PM).

Midnight and noon: specific times used in the 12-hour format.

For example:

12:00 = "It's twelve o'clock."

7:15 = "It's quarter past seven."

6:30 = "It's half past six."

10:45 = "It's quarter to eleven."
