• The minute hand points at the 7, and every number on a clock face is worth five minutes — so it shows 35 minutes past five.
• The hour hand is between the 5 and the 6, which tells you the hour has started but not finished.
• After half past we count backwards to the next hour, so 5:35 is read as "twenty-five to six" — 25 minutes still to go until six o'clock.
• 5:35 can be said either way: "twenty-five to six" or simply "five thirty-five".
