Telling Time — Science Leadership Academy @ Center City

First thing first you need to know your numbers up to 59

1-10 is

uno=1

dos=2

tres=3

cuatro=4

cinco=5

seis=6

siete=7

ocho=8

nueve=9

diez=10

now from here up to fifteen get’s different when you prounce these make sure you say the ce

once=11

doce=12

trece=13

Catorce₌₁₄

Quince=15

Now from here it gets fairly easy. When you say 16-19 it will be dieci then a number. For example

Dieciseis=16

Diecisiete=17

Dieciocho=18

Decinueve=19

You say how knowing your number 1-10 is important. Also how when say a number 1-16 it will be deci and not diez

Now when you want to say 20-29 it the same as 16-19

20= veinte

21+ veintiuno

22= veintidos

23 veintitres

25= veinticinco

26= veintiseis

27= veintisiete

28= veintiocho

29= veintinueve

Next 30-59 is diffent from 16-29 instead of putting the number together you will add a y…

30= Treinta,

31= Treinta y uno

32= Treinta y dos

33= Treinta y tres

34= Treinta y cuatro

35= Treinta y Cinco

36= Treinta y seis

37= Treinta y siete

38= Treinta y ocho

39= Treinta y nueve

That will be the same for 40 and 50 but instead of Treinta fo 40 it will be Cuarenta and 50 will be Cincuenta

Now you know your numbers up to 59 telling and asking for the time will be so easy.

How to ask for time- ¿(A) Qué hora es? Or ¿(A) ¿ Qué hora son? Or ¿(A) Qué hora tiene/

To repode( respond)

Es la una= 1 o clock Only

The rest will be Son las…

Uno

Dos

Tres

Cuatro

Cinco

Seis

Siete

Ocho

Nueve

Diez

Once

Doce

Next ….y cuarto means :15 so if you want to say the time is say for example 6:15 you will say Son Las Seis y cuatro or say you want tos ay the time is 7: 30 you will say Son Las Siete y media. Say you want tos ay for example the time is 8:39 you will say Son Las Ocho y Treinta y nueve

You see how knowing your Lumber 1-59 play a big part.

But if you want tos ay any time between 45-59 you will use menos( number of minutes befote the hour) So if you will say for 9:45 Son Las menos cuatro and cuatro in time means 15.

You will use this to ask people/ or if people ask you what’s the time. You can use this any where during any time of the day.

Situation for this will be asking a person on street the time

Script-

You: Pornada (excsue me)

Person: si(yes)

You: Que´ hora es?

Person: Es la una y media

You: gracias.
