Son las nueve treinta y siete.
de la tarde (afternoon) de la noche(evening) de la mañana(morning)
pretty much the same as everyone else said 9:37 es son las nueve treinta y siete de la de la mañana o de la noche (which basically means am/pm for english speakers).
Time wise (general Rules):
use son las (because your talking about more than 1 hr) ex son las cinco, tres,ocho...
use es la (only used when talking about 1 O'clock, because you only have 1 hr) ex es la una y media, cuarto...
to say 30 mins, or 15 mins, or even 45 mins instead of saying trienta, quince..you could just say the hour ( es la una o son las tres y media (30 mins), cuarto (15 mins), menos cuarto ( 45 mins)
hope this helps..
It would be "son las diez menos veinte y tres"
if it's past the :30 minute mark, you subtract however many minutes you need to to reach the time.
(1:58= "Son las dos menos dos")
It is 9:37= Son las diez menos veinte y tres. At 9:37= a las diez menos veinte y tres
RULE: If the time you are trying to say is over half to the next hour (like your example) do the next hour up (diez or 10 in your example) menos how many minutes it will be until the next hour strikes (veinte y tres or 23) in your example.
I hope this helped.
