Okay, so this person has asked you, "¿A qué hora es?"

You respond by saying "It is nine 'o clock" for example.

The "it is" part will be "Son." In Spanish, they don't use "'o clock," but they do put "the" in front of the time. Here we need to say "las" because nine is more than one so you need the plural the. By the way, time is feminine so your choices are "la" or "las."

Son las nueve = It's nine 'o clock.

Es la una = It's one o' clock.

add:

y cuarto (and a quarter) if it's a quarter past

y media (and a half) if it's half past

menos cuarto (minus a quarter) if it's a quarter til the hour

add:

por la mañana (in the morning)

por la tarde (in the afternoon)

por la noche (at night)

To put all of these together, let's respond by saying

"It's eight thirty at night" In Spanish, that would be: "Son las ocho y media por la noche."
