How to say minutes past

2:31

clock then

2:31

we use this particular method now we

2:34

want to imagine that the number 12 is

2:36

actually a zero for this part of telling

2:40

the time and now we are going to count

2:43

the number of minutes that are from the

2:46

zero to the minute hand which is the big

2:49

hand you can see it here on the number

2:52

one now when we count all of these you

2:55

can see the green markers here we have

2:58

five five minutes so that is the first

3:01

part of our time five now if the minute

3:05

hand is on the right side of the clock

3:09

so between that 12 or zero and the

3:11

number six we say past five P now

3:16

finally we're going to focus on the our

3:18

hand which is the little hand and we

3:20

want to say the whole number that is

3:24

immediately before this little hand in

3:28

this case it's three

3:30

three is the number before that hour

3:33

hand so this time is going to be 5 three

3:38

so to tell the time on this side the

3:40

right side of the clock we have four

3:43

Little Steps step one is convert the

3:46

number 12 to zero
