Thousands of PLURAL NOUN ago, there were calendars that enabled
the ancient PLURAL NOUN to divide a year into twelve , each month into NUMBER weeks, and each
week into seven PLURAL NOUN. At first, people told time by a sun
clock, sometimes known as the NOUN dial. Ultimately, they
invented the great timekeeping devices of today, such as the grandfather , the pocket NOUN, the alarm NOUN, and, of course, the PART OF BODY watch. Children learn about
clocks and time almost before they learn their AB ’s. They are taught that a day consists of 24
PLURAL NOUN, an hour has 60 PLURAL NOUN, and a
minute has 60 PLURAL NOUN. By the time they are in kindergarten,
they know if the big PART OF THE BODY is at twelve and the little
PART OF THE BODY is at three, that it is o’clock. I wish we could continue this lesson, but we’ve run out of NOUN.
