To tell time, it's good to know some words. A clock shows the time with hands. An hour has 60 minutes, and a minute has 60 seconds. The small hand shows the hour, and the big hand shows the minute.

Saying the Exact Hour: 'o'clock'
We use 'o'clock' when the time is exactly on the hour, with no minutes past. For example, if the small hand is on 3 and the big hand is on 12, it's 3 o'clock. To ask the time, you say 'What time is it?' or 'What's the time?'.
- Use 'o'clock' for exact hours.
- Big hand on 12 means 'o'clock'.
- Ask 'What time is it?'
AM and PM for Clarity
To make time clearer, we use AM for morning and PM for afternoon/evening. AM is from midnight to midday, and PM is from midday to midnight. For example, 7 o'clock AM is in the morning, and 7 o'clock PM is in the evening.
- AM is for morning (midnight to midday).
- PM is for afternoon/evening (midday to midnight).
- Use AM/PM to distinguish morning from evening hours.
