There are two different ways to say the time 9.45 pm in Spanish.
The first is to say the hour plus the minutes so nine forty five would be said:
"Son las neuve y cuarenta y cinco".
Alternatively, you could say "it is a quarter to ten", so you would say the following (which means fifteen minutes to ten in English):
"Son las diez menos cuarto"
