Explanation:
The translation of the sentences is:
(2:50 AM) It's ten minutes <u>to</u> three in the morning.
(4:15 PM) It's <u>quarter</u> past four in the afternoon.
(8:30 PM) It's <u>half</u> past eight at night.
(6:00 AM) It's six in the <u>morning</u>.
(4:05 PM) It's five past four in the <u>afternoon</u>.
(12:00 AM) It's <u>midnight</u>.
(9:55 PM) It is five minutes to <u>ten</u> at night.
In Spanish, to mention the time regularly starts with the words <em>"son las"</em> (with the exception of 1:00 with any number of minutes and 12:00, in such cases it is mentioned "es la") then, unlike English, <u>the hour is mentioned first and then the minutes</u>, and finally it is mentioned if the schedule is in the morning or in the afternoon, with only two exceptions: <u>12.00 AM which is midnight and 12:00 PM that is noon</u>.
