• The minute hand points at the 12, and every number on a clock face is worth five minutes — so it shows 0 minutes past twelve.
• The hour hand is straight at the 12, which tells you the hour has started but not finished.
• When the minute hand points straight up at the 12, the time is exactly on the hour — twelve o'clock.
• 12:00 can be said either way: "twelve o'clock" or simply "twelve o'clock".
