Why is Telling Time Important?

• If you ask a Spanish speaker what time it is.
Vocab: Números• Uno• Dos• Tres• Cuatro• Cinco• Seis• Siete• Ocho• Nueve

• In order to ask what time it is in Spanish, you say “¿Qué hora es?”, or literally, “What hour is it?”.
“WHAT TIME IS IT?”
• The one o’clock hour is different than the other hours because it’s singular. So, you say “es la una” for one o’clock.
“IT’S ONE O’CLOCK”
How to tell time after 1 o’clock
● All time after the first hour is feminine and plural
● Instead of saying “es la una…” you say “son las [hora]”
Different Clock Expressions
● Quarter pasto There are 2 ways to say quarter past
You could say the hour plus 15 minutes, or you could say the hour plus one quarter
● “Son las [hora] y quince”● “Son las [hora] y cuarto”
Different Clock Expressions (con’t)
● Half pasto There are 2 ways to say half past
You could say the hour plus 30 minutes, or you could say the hour plus one half
● “Son las [hora] y trienta”● “Son las [hora] y media”

Spanish: Son las doce y trienta.
Literal English Translation: It is twelve and thirty.
“y”
Using Menos From the half hour to the end of the hour you use menos.
Menos mean minus in English. To use menos in telling time you go
to the closest hour and subtract however many minutes are between the two. Ex.--- For 6:52 the hour would be 7
(siete) and then there are 8 (ocho) minutes between 7 o’clock and 6:52 and so the time would be 7 (siete) minus (menos) 8 (ocho).
The time from the half hour to the end of
the hour are written in a specific form. It is always # menos # Ex.---- ocho menos cinco 7:55
Form
The form is # menos # but before that comes son las or es la. In this sense telling time for the last half of
the hour is the same as for the first half. Son las comes before when it is the last
half of the hour for any hour between 1:30 and 12:30. Son las tres menos quice. (2:45)
Es la is used when it is between 12:30 and 1:00. Es la una menos nueve. (12:51)
Son Las and Es La
