Next, you should use this knowledge of numbers for the time.

To ask the time, we say "¿Qué hora es?"

The response to this is "Es el (minutes) de (hour)."

Example: Es el veintitres de cuatro.(4:23)


To say "quarter after" "half past" or "quarter til", we say:
Quarter after-y cuarto
Half past-y media
Quarter til-menos cuarto
Example: Es el cinco menos cuarto.(4:45)

This skill could be useful in the event that you record a phone message (which also requires the question: ¿Cómo te llamas?-What is your name?
