Part 3

Endings 

...de la mañana ( in the mourning)

...de la tarde ( in the afternoon)

...de la noche (in the evening)

... y cuarto (quarter after)

... menos cuarto (quarter of)

...y media (half past)

... en punto (on the dot) when you use this its only when you have :00 

When you want to add 0:__ you put a y after you did son las or es lan 

Example: 0 y __

When you want to make it easier you menos it which means minus

Example: 0 menos __

LessonPart 4 

Adding 0:__ the blank. 

So lets just say you had 2:30AM.

You would solve that by putting all the components together.

So it would be Son las dos y media de la mañana.

Lets try another one a little harder.

7:55PM

You would solve that by adding son las or es lan in this case it would be Son las and since we are subtracting it so it would be ocho.

So all together it would be...

Son las ocho menos cinco de la noche
