If you want the simple past,

Fue el nueve de agosto.
Fue la una de la manana.

I would certainly think simple past for the second - the first might depend on the context.

Yep. She's right. "Era el nueve . . ." and "Era la una . . ." You want to always use the imperfect rather than preterite tense when describing time in the past. In other words, "era" is the correct conjugation as opposed to "fue."

Era el nueve de agosto
y
Era la una de la manana.

You would use era instead of fue because you would use fue in regards to going some place. For example, "I went to the store." (Fue al supermercado)

But intangible stuff like the weather, you would use era.

Era or fue, it depends.

Ayer fue nueve de agosto
Era la una de la mañana cuando to ocurrió. If you use "Fue" in this sentence, then it's "Fue A la una de la mañana..."
