• The minute hand points at the 3, and every number on a clock face is worth five minutes — so it shows 15 minutes past nine.
• The hour hand is between the 9 and the 10, which tells you the hour has started but not finished.
• Up to half past we count minutes forward from the hour, so 9:15 is read as "quarter past nine".
• 9:15 can be said either way: "quarter past nine" or simply "nine fifteen".
