• The minute hand points at the 9, and every number on a clock face is worth five minutes — so it shows 45 minutes past seven.
• The hour hand is between the 7 and the 8, which tells you the hour has started but not finished.
• After half past we count backwards to the next hour, so 7:45 is read as "quarter to eight" — 15 minutes still to go until eight o'clock.
• 7:45 can be said either way: "quarter to eight" or simply "seven forty-five".
