Singular vs PluralSingular vs Plural
Since Spanish must have agreement of number, the only clock time that is singular is the 1 o’clock hour. All other hours are plural:
It’s one o’clock.
Es la una.
It’s two o’clockSon las dos.

Minutes until an hourMinutes until an hour
Once the minute hand of a clock moves past the half hour on an analog clock face, we generally say it is so many minutes “until” the next hour. In the case of 4:45, we would say it is “Quarter ‘til five”:
Son las cinco menos cuarto.
Notice that in Spanish, we always say the hour first and then the minutes.

Just practice…Just practice…
To get used to telling time, you simply have to know your numbers from 1-59. If you have difficulty telling time, not knowing the numbers is probably the reason.
The only way to improve is to practice.
