This is called a clock. This is called the second hand. It's like "second". There are sixty seconds in a minute. Sixty minutes in an hour.

If you are on the hour... If you asked me, "Tom, what time is it?" I would say "five o'clock". Why? A long time ago they used to say "five of the clock", now it's "five o'clock".

What time is it? Four o'clock. Around four. Around four o'clock. Four o'clock.

If...

- What time is it now, Tom?
This is ten minutes after five.
This is fifteen minutes after five.
Twenty minutes after five.
Twenty-five minutes after five.
Thirty minutes after five, or "five thirty".
- What time is it?
- Five thirty.
- What time is it now?
- It's ten minutes after five.

Five can be in the morning or five could be... in the night/afternoon.
Five in the morning or five in the evening. How do you know?

We don't know. We have to look.
If it was in the morning, you would say five a.m.
If it was in the night time, it would be five p.m.

There are twenty-four hours in a day. There are sixty minutes in an hour. There are sixty seconds in a minute.
