Answer 2

When telling the time in Spanish the phrase used to indicate that it is quarter past the hour is "y cuarto".

Step-by-step explanation:

When telling the time in Spanish the phrase used to indicate that it is quarter past the hour is "y cuarto". For example, if you want to say "It's quarter past six", you should say "Son las seis y cuarto". Cuarto is the translation of quarter. And it's also used to express "it's quarter to an hour". In that case if you intend to say "it's quarter to six", in Spanish you should say "son las seis menos cuarto". It means there's a quarter of an hour left.
