Can you use con with time in Spanish as Son las siete viente minutos?

You're very close! The phrase "Son las siete veinte minutos" is a bit wordy and not the standard way to express the time in Spanish. Here's the correct way to say "It's seven twenty":

Son las siete y veinte.

Here's why:

* "Son las" is the standard way to say "it is" when referring to the time.

* "siete" is the Spanish word for "seven."

* "y veinte" means "and twenty." We use "y" to connect the hours and minutes.

Note: While "veinte minutos" is technically correct, it's not used in everyday speech.
