no worries

just remember when using "geçiyor" the first number takes the accusative case ending:

-i, -ı, -u, -ü, -yi, -yı, -yu, -yü

the hour is the reference point. it comes first and takes the accusative. whatever is "past" the hour comes second.

5 past 4...or 4:05
dördü beş geçiyor

Well done!

Some more additions:
Çeyrek = Quarter
ikiyi çeyrek geçiyor = quarter past two

Buçuk = Half
iki buçuk = half past two
Accusative and "geçiyor" are not necessary.

And for 00:30 am/pm we say "yarım" (half) only.
gece yarım = half past midnight
yarım = half past noon

And when you reference the hour ahead, you use dative and "var".

ikiye beş var = five to two
üçe on var = ten to three
yediye çeyrek var = quarter to seven
dokuza yirmi var = twenty to nine
onbire yirmibeş var = twentyfive to eleven
