'Twenty to five' . Means 'twenty minutes before five o'clock'.

Or ' Forty minutes past four o'clock'.

On the analogue clock the minute ( large) finger will be pointing at '8' or 'VIII'.

The hour (smaller) finger will be pointing between four and five.

On the digital clock it will be '0440' (morning) or '1640' (afternoon).

NB The phrase 'o'clock' is an historical corruption for 'of the clock'.

Who says twenty past five?

The phrase "twenty past five" is commonly used in British English to indicate the time as 5:20. It is a way of expressing time that emphasizes the minutes past the hour rather than the hour itself. In contrast, American English typically uses "five twenty" to convey the same time. Thus, you are more likely to hear "twenty past five" in the UK and other Commonwealth countries.
