You simply add "et quart" (pronounce [eh kar]) after the hour from which the quarter is past. "et quart" literally means "and a quarter".Hence "a quarter past ten" becomes "dix heures et quart" ("ten hours and a quarter")
4:45 ; Quarter to 5 5:15 ; Quarter past 5
Quarter past 12 !
A quarter past two!
I would recommend running the first quarter in about 1:25.Try and hold on the second quarter without using too much guts.On the third quarter, imagine it's the last.On the last quarter, you should know what to do.Your average speed must be greater than 10 miles per hour.You know you're behind if:After the first quarter you're past 1:30.After the second quarter you're past 3:00.After the third quarter you're past 4:30.If you're behind you can catch up if you're not much far behind (so don't give up).
Both are accepted, but "a quarter after" is preferred in formal writing.
