• The minute hand points at the 11, and every number on a clock face is worth five minutes — so it shows 55 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 10:55 is read as "five to eleven" — 5 minutes still to go until eleven o'clock.
• 10:55 can be said either way: "five to eleven" or simply "ten fifty-five".
