The clock tells us the time. The thinest/longest hand shows

            seconds       .  The  long  hand  shows  minutes                         .  The  short  hand

            shows hours           .

            In the given clock below, the long hand points to 12 and the

            short hand points to 3.

            It is 3 o’clock. It can be written as 3:00.
