How to read 11:00 on an analog clock
At 11:00, the minute hand points at the 0, which represents the 0th minute. The hour hand is between the 11 and the 12, but closer to the 11. This means we are 0 minutes past eleven o’clock.
In English, when the minute hand is on the 0, we say phrases like: It’s 11 o’clock.
It’s eleven o’clock.
This is a common way of expressing time in spoken English. These expressions sound more natural in everyday conversation.
It’s important to understand that we often refer to the next hour when using “to”, even if the hour hand hasn’t reached it yet.
