Inside This Telling the Time PowerPoint

Each slide shows a clock face with an hour from 1 to 12 and models how to ask and answer the question “What time is it?” (e.g., “It’s seven o’clock.”). Students practice both asking and answering for all 12 hours. The PPT finishes with a short review quiz, where learners are shown a random clock and must respond in a full sentence.

Ways to Use in Class

• With beginner learners: Start with just the simple hours (1–12). This is ideal for students who are still learning small numbers in English. Focus on repetition, drilling, and pair practice until they are confident.
• With higher-level learners: Extend the activity by introducing larger numbers and more complex time expressions, such as “twelve thirty-five” or “quarter past three.” The same slides can then serve as a springboard for more advanced time-telling practice.
