In lesson 1.14 Telling Time
They use
Es cuarto para las cuatro to tell 3:45, but
Son cinco para las tres to tell 2.55
When do you use "es" and when to use "son"?
When to use son or es in telling time

Es is for anything that starts with "un cuarto" and for 1:00 ("es la una").
Son is for everything else.
