Telling the Time

We measure the time in seconds, minutes and hours.



There are 24 hours in a day.



There are 60 minutes in an hour.



There are 60 seconds in a minute.



To tell the time you usually use a clock

ساعة الحائط




or a watch

ساعة اليد







There are analogue clocks and watches and there are digital clocks and watches.

Analogue clock :
الساعة التقليدية اي التي بها عقارب
لتشير الى الساعات والدقائق والثواني





Analogue clocks and watches often have numbers on the "face" to show the hours and lines to show the minutes. An analogue clock also has "hands", a short hand to show the hour, a longer hand to show the minutes, and sometimes a long thin hand to show the seconds.



Digital watch:
وهي الساعة الرقمية او الالكترونية



Digital clocks and watches show the exact hours and minutes in numbers. They use 24 hours and sixty minutes to show the time
