In regards to telling what time it is. I find using " para las" to be difficult to remember.
Por Ejemplo ( 2:55) Son cinco para las tres
In other studies I have done in spanish I learned to say
" Son las tres menos cinco"
which seems so much easier to remember. Would it not be correct to use
this phrase.
Gracias
