Tick Tock ⏰

Looking at the Clock helps us know the time. My dad has a Watch.

The short hand is the Hour. The long hand is the Minute. Tik tok goes the Second. When it is 3:00, it is Three O'clock. When it is 3:30, it is Half Past three. When it is 3:15, it is Quarter Past three. When it is 3:45, it is Quarter To four. Don't be Late!
