      Quarter after four is 4:15.

      Quarter of five is 4:45. Also quarter to five and quarter til five.

      I’m seeing other comments that suggest I might be wrong. Especially in regards to other languages.

      I would not have guessed that meaning of “of.” I think we should stick to “til” or “past” for clarity.
