The measurement of time isn’t just in seconds, minutes, hours and days - it's also in years and millennia. We measure time with clocks, watches and calendars. There are two types of clocks - analog and digital. Being able to read the time in both formats is essential.

There are two types of clock - digital and analog. Digital clocks use just numbers whilst analog clock use words. For example, 12:00 on a digital clock would be 12 O'clock on an analog. Some digital clocks are '24 hour' clocks. This means that instead of using AM or PM to tell you if it is morning or afternoon, different numbers are used. For example, 3AM would be 03:00 on a 24 hour clock and 3PM would be 15:00. Years, decades and even a century - these are the larger measurements of time. There is an even bigger one, a millennium. If someone lives for over a century, they have had what's known as 'a good innings' which is a cricketing term. Some adults find the 24 hour clock difficult to remember. 16:18 is not as easy as nearly twenty past four, is it? It is a useful thing to learn and you should find it easier than adults. Why?
