                           done for you.

                    The minute hand moves from one digit to the next digit in 5 minutes. When the
                    minute hand is on 1, it means 1 × 5 = 5 minutes have passed. When the minute
                    hand is on 2, it means 2 × 5 = 10 minutes have passed and so on.

                    Past and To
                    When the  minute  hand moves  from one number  to  the  next  number  it  covers 5
                    minutes (or 5 minutes have passed). Thus, starting from 12 and reaching 6 it covers
                    30 minutes. The time when the minute hand is at 6 is read out as 30 minutes past or
                    half past the hour.
