  • The tenth hour of the day goes from 9:00 to 10:00.

    So quarter of ten is 9:15. I don’t know how one would explain the other possibilities, but this is the correct answer.

    Imagine it as a glass of water that gets filled for each hour. Once it is full, the hour has been reached.



  • I was on Tenerife recently. I arrived early in the morning (still night) and searched for a place to have breakfast. Most would open at 7 but I found one that opened at 6. The other customers were people on their way to work and pensioneers or people who just liked to get up early.

    Delicious bocadillos and coffee and freshly pressed orange juice.
