Morning, afternoon and the 24-hour clock, sentence 0

A day has 24 hours, but an ordinary clock face shows only 12, so its short hand goes round twice a day: once from midnight to midday, and once from midday to midnight.

Who acts: day, ordinary clock face, short hand · What happens: have, show, go round · To what, where: 12
