It means 15 minutes before the hour. "Quarter past" and "Half past" mean 15 minutes and 30 minutes after the hour, respectively. These phrases were much more common in the days when all clocks and timepieces had the standard round face with numbers and hands. Understandably, people who know only digital read-outs will find these phrases confusing.

∙ 14y agoIn English, it means 'one fourth part of', as in a quarter of a pound of sugar, which is 0.25lb.
In American, it also means 'a quarter of an hour before...' as in 'The time is a quarter of four', which is nonsense, but that's the way these folks talk.

Is twelve a common noun?
Twelve is often used as an adjective, not a noun. For example, "I bought twelve eggs today," is a sentence that sounds commonplace, whereas "I have a twelve in my pocket," is not. Numbers can be used as nouns, however. If you are referring to mathematics, you can "subtract a twelve," where twelve is a noun. Sentences can also be elliptical, saying you "have a good twelve," if you are referring to, say, the twelve of something you have. In this case, twelve is still technically an adjective, however, as you are describing the twelve "good" 'something's that you have.
