From the Forum

Telling Time
I have a question about telling time in Spanish. In the United states we can say it is eight forty-five or we can say it is quarter to nine. Using Sspanish would one say "son las ocho cuarenta y cinco" or "son las nueve menos cuarto" or perhaps can say it either way ?

Irregular Verbs
Does anyone know which living language has the most irregular verbs?
