• The minute hand points at the 6, and every number on a clock face is worth five minutes — so it shows 30 minutes past four.
• The hour hand is halfway between the 4 and the 5, which tells you the hour has started but not finished.
• The minute hand points straight down at the 6, which is 30 minutes — half of the way round the face, so we say "half past four".
• 4:30 can be said either way: "half past four" or simply "four thirty".
