• The minute hand points at the 10, and every number on a clock face is worth five minutes — so it shows 50 minutes past eleven.
• The hour hand is between the 11 and the 12, which tells you the hour has started but not finished.
• After half past we count backwards to the next hour, so 11:50 is read as "ten to twelve" — 10 minutes still to go until twelve o'clock.
• 11:50 can be said either way: "ten to twelve" or simply "eleven fifty".
