Some people use military time but if you want to say am or pm it would be ごぜん (gozen) and ごご (gogo) respectively.

I could be wrong on this one but I'm pretty sure that four o clock is よじ(yoji). It's been awhile since I've taught time and numbers but I'm pretty sure it's よじ.

While we are talking about time though I might as well go on with it ne?

半(はん) - the term for half, in time marks half past the hour.
間(かん) - term for duration of time, i.e. "for..."
分(ぶん、ぷん、ふん) - counter for minutes. (Be careful! these change alot!)
秒(びょう) - counter for seconds.

Examples:
一時半(いちじはん)- 1:30

二時半間(にじはんかん) - for 2 and a half hours.

三時十五分 (さんじじゅうごふん) - 3:15

四十秒前(よんじゅうびょうまえ) - 40 seconds before (to go)

A note for the minute counter:
This counter is very versatile as it has so many pronunciations here is a little chart to let you know 1-10 and how they work.

1 min. -->いっぷん (ippun)
2 min -->にふん (nifun)
3 min -->さんぶん (sanbun)
4 min -->しぶん (shibun)
5 min -->ごふん (gofun)
6 min -->ろっぷん (roppun)
7 min -->ななふん (nanafun)
8 min -->はっぷん (happun)
9 min --> きゅうふん (kyuufun)
10 min -->じゅっぷん (juppun)

(If you see anything that isn't correct please let me know, it's been awhile since I've used minutes! XD)
