It does not specifically denote 12:00, but rather the general time range during the morning. Therefore, it does not mean exactly 12:00, although it is commonly used to refer to times like 7:00 AM or 10:00 AM.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>D. cuarto<\/strong> \u2013 This term translates to &#8220;quarter,&#8221; and it refers to a &#8220;quarter&#8221; of an hour (i.e., 15 minutes). It does not refer to a specific time like 12:00, but rather a way to indicate portions of time (e.g., &#8220;cuarto de hora&#8221; for 15 minutes or &#8220;un cuarto de las tres&#8221; for 2:15).
