Grammar
Would you explain about informing the specific time?
A: What time is it now?
B: It's 9:50a.m.
(= It's ten before 10 or It's ten minutes before 10 o'clock or It's ten to 10)
B' : It's 10:10 a.m.
(= It's ten after 10)
B" : It's 9:45 a.m.
(= It's a quarter before 10 or It's a quarter to 10 or It's a quarter after 9.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Could I replace the underlined expressions as another ones into brackets ?
I'd like you to show me something else If it's more.

Question.
Please correct my sentenses for my better English composition.

ljswave Could I replace the underlined expressions as another ones into brackets ? All OK except this one: (X) It's a quarter after 9. (This is not 9:45, but 9:15 ) Also: B: It's ten of ten B': It's ten past ten, It's ten ten.
