Son las tres y cuarto= It is 3:15

Es la una y diez= It is 1:10

Son las dos menos cuarto= It is 1:45

There are other numbers you have to know to become experts at telling time.

These both mean the same thing, they are two different ways of saying 1:55.

11:27pm= Son las once y vientisiete de la noche.

8:30am= Son las ocho y media de la mañana.
