Hola, ¿qué tal?
Today in lesson number seven we’re gonna talk about the time
I'm gonna teach you how to tell the time in Spanish
and also, we're gonna learn how to talk about activities
we have in the future. Like schedules.
So, if you're interested keep on watching!
So first I’m gonna teach you two ways to tell the time in Spanish.
Then towards the end of the video, we are gonna talk about how to use
time to talk about events or activities
OK, so to tell the time you need this little device
In Spanish it's called "reloj"
The main question you need to know to ask about the time is:
Then to answer, first you say the hour.
Let’s see.
Keep in mind that if the time says 1, you will say ES LA UNA, because it is singular.
With the rest of the numbers, you say SON LAS because it’s plural.
Now let’s check the minutes.
There are two ways in which you can do this: The first one and most simple one would be
saying: y and then the number, like in:
Now let's talk about the different moments of the day.
To say am say:
To say pm say:
Are you ready to practice?
Let’s see if you and Cody can say the time in Spanish
Son las once y treinta y cinco
That is...
diez y diez de la mañana
es la una y treinta
son las ocho y...
I have trouble with fifty...
cincuenta
Son las ocho y cincuenta
de la tarde.
son las ocho y cincuenta de la noche
son las doce.
Now let's take a look at the other way
to tell the time in Spanish
For this, you need to learn these expressions:
Let’s see some examples:
OK, so this is where it gets fun After minute 30, you’ll need to say the
next hour and then say how many minutes are left to that hour:
Let's see some examples:
So that's it. You can choose any of those two ways
ways to tell the time.
No matter where you are, you will be understood, so choose whatever
is easier for you.
Now let's see if you and Cody got it:
I am gonna show you some different times
and you will tell me in Spanish one of the two ways I showed you to tell the time
Are you ready? Let's get started!
¿Qué hora es?
once y cuatro
son las once y cuarto or son las once y quince
son las tres y media or son las tres y treinta
son las cinco y cuarto?
cuarto de cinco?
son las cinco menos cuarto or son las cuatro y cuarenta y cinco
...difficult!...
es la una punto
es la una or es la una en punto
Now let's talk about events. When you are gonna talk about events
or times of a situation
you are gonna ask the question a little bit different.
This time you need to ask:
In this case, your response will need to have the preposition A.
Let's see some examples:
So, let's take a look at what we learned today
Remember if you are telling the current time you need to ask:
And your response will need to be
or SON if the number is plural
If you are talking about an event or a situation, your question will
have to have the preposition A
and your answer will also have to have the preposition A
