• The minute hand points at the 3, and every number on a clock face is worth five minutes — so it shows 15 minutes past four.
• The hour hand is between the 4 and the 5, which tells you the hour has started but not finished.
• Up to half past we count minutes forward from the hour, so 4:15 is read as "quarter past four".
• 4:15 can be said either way: "quarter past four" or simply "four fifteen".
