Lesson 158 of 186

Concept

Digital clocks don't make you do any math. They just give you the answer! But you have to know how to read the words to match them.

🎯 Reading the Glowing Numbers: 8:35

1. The Hour (Left side of the : ) -> 8. "Eight". 2. The Minutes (Right side of the : ) -> 35. "Thirty-five". 3. The Translation: The time is "Eight thirty-five".

🎯 The Sneaky "Oh" Trick: 4:05 When the minute is smaller than 10, it has a zero in front of it. We don't say "Four zero five". We say the zero like the letter O! "Four oh five!"
