Where children slip
If you mix up the hands, this clock looks like 7:55. The short hand always gives the hour.
The long hand is on the 7, but that means 35 minutes, not 7. The time is 11:35, not 11:07.
The short hand looks close to the 12, so it's tempting to say 12:35. It hasn't reached the 12 yet, so the hour is still 11.
Morning or afternoon?
A clock with hands looks the same twice a day. 11:35 a.m. is the morning. 11:35 p.m. is night time. There's more in the guide to a.m. and p.m.
