Hi

Can you complete your language level on your profile please? I assume given what you have written and your name that you are fluent in English but I do not know your Spanish level.

In what context are you giving the times - is it a period of time when something is happening? I ask as there are phrases for about or on the dot.

I will leave it to a native to correct but

  1. Except for 1 o'clock where it is es la una usually it is 'son las' as the hours are plural and femenine
  2. Midday is mediadía
  3. The 24 hour clock is not usually used so for the afternoon you say de la tarde or after 6 de la noche . However 24 hour clocks are used for trains and planes and you wouldn't then use de la mañana etc.
  4. You do not put un before mil.

check previous answers in the forum.
