A: On the hour means when the clock hits the hour mark, so 12:00, 1:00, 2:00, those would all be on the hour. You could also use on the dot, which means the same thing but can be applied to times with minutes like 1:15 or 3:30. On the dot of 3:30 (this makes more sense if you use a clock with hands)

A: "I have waited for an hour. "
For example, you want to eat in a restaurant with your friend. He is late so you are waiting for him. He finally arrived and you eat in the restaurant. Then he asks you, "Oh sorry, how long did you wait?" you answer "I have/I've waited for an hour."


But, for example, you are waiting for your friend and he sends you a text message, "Sorry I will be late!" Then you reply "Hurry up, I have been waiting for an hour."

have waited = you are already done waiting.
have been waiting = you are still waiting right now.

A: "I am going to be a half an hour late" sounds unexpected. "I will be there half an hour late" sounds planned. "I ran into some traffic! I am going to be a half hour late!" "My meeting doesn't get out until 5pm. I will be a half an hour late to the 4:30 movie showing."

A: Pretend it's 8:00
