how to ask the time in spanish

First things first the numbers.

In English its one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.

In Spanish its, uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez, once, doce.

Now numbers above both read the same from 1 to 12.

For example if the was 5:05, we in english would say five o' five. But on the other hand in spanish you would say son las cinco y cinco. To say it properly you say "Son las" and the first number but with the second number you just add "y" and the number

15- cuatro

30- media

45- cuarenta y cinco

55- la hora menos cinco - cincuenta y cinco

Here are some examples...

5:20 - Son las cinco y veinte.

6:30 - Son las seis y media.

1:55 - Son las dos dos menos cinco.
