Que hora es? What time is it?
To say it is 1:00 o’clock in Spanish you say Es la una.
For every other time you say Son las… # in Spanish. For example if it was 4:00, you would say: Son las cuatro.
Minutes can be added to the hour using the word y (and). So 4:05 = Son las cuatro y cinco and 5:30 = Son las cinco y treinta or y media
To say at what time you do something you say a la or a las.
(a la is for 1 o’clock and a las is for everything else)
Example: At what time does school start? A las ocho y veinte.
Answer the following questions using a la or alas + the time.
1. At what time did you wake up?
2. At what time do you go to bed?
3. At what time do you have Spanish?
4. At what time do you have lunch?
5. At what time do we celebrate the new year?
