• The minute hand points at the 7, and every number on a clock face is worth five minutes — so it shows 35 minutes past eight.
• The hour hand is between the 8 and the 9, which tells you the hour has started but not finished.
• After half past we count backwards to the next hour, so 8:35 is read as "twenty-five to nine" — 25 minutes still to go until nine o'clock.
• 8:35 can be said either way: "twenty-five to nine" or simply "eight thirty-five".
