• The minute hand points at the 9, and every number on a clock face is worth five minutes — so it shows 45 minutes past one.
• The hour hand is between the 1 and the 2, which tells you the hour has started but not finished.
• After half past we count backwards to the next hour, so 1:45 is read as "quarter to two" — 15 minutes still to go until two o'clock.
• 1:45 can be said either way: "quarter to two" or simply "one forty-five".
