Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Divide the clock in half. Up to the half hour you use the word "and" = "y." From the half-hour to the next hour you use the word "less" = "menos."

Es la una = It's one o'clock
Son las dos = It's two o'clock
Son las tres y cuarto = It's 3:15.
Son las cuatro y media = It's 4:30.

Son las seis menos el cuarto = It's 5:45.
Son las ocho menos cinco = It's 7:55

Es el mediodía = It's noon
Es la medianoche = It's midnight.

For a.m. = de la mañana
For p.m. = de la tarde OR de la noche (after 5 p.m. or so)

P.S. Please post any other time that might cause you difficulty.
