Telling the time on the half hour
Half past means half way through the hour. The big hand points to 6!
half past 3

At half past, the big hand points to 6 (half way round) and the little hand is between two numbers. When it is half past 3, the little hand is between 3 and 4. Half past is the second time you learn after o’clock!
