Step-by-step explanation:
The translation of the sentences is:
- (2:50 AM) It's ten minutes to three in the morning.
- (4:15 PM) It's quarter past four in the afternoon.
- (8:30 PM) It's half past eight at night.
- (6:00 AM) It's six in the morning.
- (4:05 PM) It's five past four in the afternoon.
- (12:00 AM) It's midnight.
- (9:55 PM) It is five minutes to ten at night.
In Spanish, to mention the time regularly starts with the words "son las" (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, the hour is mentioned first and then the minutes, and finally it is mentioned if the schedule is in the morning or in the afternoon, with only two exceptions: 12.00 AM which is midnight and 12:00 PM that is noon.
