I've heard this is possible using shadows cast by the sun, is this true? How so?

yeah, face north, and look at your shadow, it should point (as a hour hand on a clock). You are facing 12 o' clock, so if you shadow falls directly to your right, it is about 3 o clock.

We use our shadow to tell the time when sun sets.
When your shadow moves it means an hour has been added to the time it was.

Yeah! It is. You have to make a sundial. Make a dial with a cardboard, then cut another cardboard with measuring of exact latitude of your place and make that stand perpendicular of the dial. The sundial is ready. You have to mark different times every hour. The tip of the standing paper marks the time.

With any degree of sensitivity, you can tell by it's approximate position in the sky.
