• The minute hand points at the 10, and every number on a clock face is worth five minutes — so it shows 50 minutes past twelve.
• The hour hand is between the 12 and the 1, which tells you the hour has started but not finished.
• After half past we count backwards to the next hour, so 12:50 is read as "ten to one" — 10 minutes still to go until one o'clock.
• 12:50 can be said either way: "ten to one" or simply "twelve fifty".
