• The minute hand points at the 9, and every number on a clock face is worth five minutes — so it shows 45 minutes past ten.
• The hour hand is between the 10 and the 11, which tells you the hour has started but not finished.
• After half past we count backwards to the next hour, so 10:45 is read as "quarter to eleven" — 15 minutes still to go until eleven o'clock.
• 10:45 can be said either way: "quarter to eleven" or simply "ten forty-five".
