• The minute hand points at the 4, and every number on a clock face is worth five minutes — so it shows 20 minutes past three.
• The hour hand is between the 3 and the 4, which tells you the hour has started but not finished.
• Up to half past we count minutes forward from the hour, so 3:20 is read as "twenty past three".
• 3:20 can be said either way: "twenty past three" or simply "three twenty".
