How to read it
The short hand is the hour. When it is between two numbers, the hour is the smaller one it has passed.
The long hand is the minutes. Each number it points to is 5 minutes: count 5, 10, 15… round from the 12.
Up to the 6 it is "past" the hour. After the 6 it is "to" the next hour: 4:40 is twenty to five.

The hour hand moves too
At half past four the short hand is halfway between 4 and 5, not on the 4. Dragging the minute hand here moves the hour hand with it, the way a real clock does.
Count on through the hour
Time does not work in hundreds, so 7:45 + 35 min is not 7:80. Go to the next o'clock first (15 min to 8:00), then add what is left (20 min → 8:20).
am, pm and the 24-hour clock
am is from midnight to midday, pm from midday to midnight. Bus and flight times use the 24-hour clock: add 12 to any pm hour, so 4:40 pm is 16:40.
