• The minute hand points at the 4, and every number on a clock face is worth five minutes — so it shows 20 minutes past eight.
• The hour hand is between the 8 and the 9, which tells you the hour has started but not finished.
• Up to half past we count minutes forward from the hour, so 8:20 is read as "twenty past eight".
• 8:20 can be said either way: "twenty past eight" or simply "eight twenty".
