Clocks

I have a project due for french class which involves telling the time. I have an advantage as my uncle is french so he has helped me with some of the grammar, except i’m left a bit puzzled after something that he emailed me. As we all know (we, meaning people who speak french or who are learning) french time is said in 24 hour format, using ‘midi’ for 12 o’clock noon, ‘demi’ for half past, ‘le quart’ for quarter past and ‘moins le quart’ for quarter to, but he has given me this reply to one of my sentences..:
“In French you don’t say “quatorze heures moins le quart” you have to chose between:
deux heures moins le quart OR treize heure quarante cinq”

I don’t get it, if you say deux heures moins le quart you’d be refering to 2 in the morning, right? and my french teacher only wants us to use le quart, moins le quart and demi/e to signify the minutes that have passed, not ‘quarante cinq’, the actual number.
I appologise if this is a long and confusing question, but I really must clarify this grammar rule! Merci!!

I wake up at five o`clock in the morning.
I go to school at seven thirty. I study at the library until the French class starts. I am in the class from two to four twenty.
The french class begins at two and finishes at four twenty.
After the class, I go to the library and study French.
I go home after eight o`clock.

Could someone translate these into French??
I would really appreciate it.
