Time

 Time can be told in lots of ways, here are ways on how to tell time. 

Analogue time uses hands to tell time. 1 hand counts the seconds, 1 hand counts the minutes and 1 hand counts the hours.

Digital time uses am and pm. Am means At morning and Pm means past morning. Midnight is am which mean the time should be 0000. Midday is pm which means the time should 1200.

24 hour time mainly uses zero's. The time starts at 0000 and ends at 2359. It also uses am and pm. 

Another way telling time is using fractions. Visualise a clock as a quarter (or a fraction). One piece is how far the time goes. 

Another way to tell time is using written algorithm. This is how it can be used: If its 10:37 and dinner is in 2 hours. Add 60 mins to 10:37 to make 11:37. Then add another 60 mins to 11:37 to make 12:37. That is 2 hours used. Now add 17 to 37 to make 54. That means dinner is at 12:57.
