Hola, amigas and amigos! 
Today you will be learning how to tell and ask for the time in spanish. You will be learning the differences between time in english and time in spanish. It may be hard at first but once you get it it'll be a piece of cake. Here are some steps to make it easier

Step 1: Before you write the time you must either write "Es la" or "Son las". 
Es la is only used when it's 1:00. Son las is used for 2-12:00.
Step 2: Put the hour.
Ex. Son las dos = 2:00 or Es la una = 1:00
Step 3: Write either "y" or "menos"
Y: use this if the minutes are from 1-29
Menos: use this if the minutes are from 30-59 
(State the hour ahead, write menos, and state how many minutes it would take to be the given hour in the hour ahead)
Step 4: Write the minutes.
Ex. Son las dos y cinco or Son las tres menos diez

Here is a few examples:
