Time zones and the date line, sentence 15

Many countries move their clocks forward an hour in summer, and the UK changes on the last Sunday in March and the last Sunday in October; near the equator days and nights stay about 12 hours long all year, so most countries there never change their clocks.

Who acts: Many countries, UK, days, most countries · What happens: move, change, stay, not change · To what, where: clocks, equator
