How to tell the months in Spanish
The dates and months are difficult until you get used to them. I am here to make the process faster and simpler.

The spelling may be the hardest part.
1. January - enero
2. February - febrero
3. March - marzo
4. April - abril
5. May - mayo
6. June - junio
7. July - julio
8. August - agosto
9. September - septiembre
10. October - octubre
11. Novembre - noviembre

The first letter of the month is never capalizied, it would be counted as wrong. Also the day comes before the month
For example:
Christmas - 25/12/00
Chritmas - viente cinco de diciembre

Que hora es/son? How to tell and ask the time.
Lesson: In order to tell time you need to know:
- How to count in spanish
-How to ask what time it is
-How to say what time it is.
1 o’clock | Es la una |
2 o’clock | Son las dos |
3 o’clock | Son las tres |
4 o’clock | Son las cuatro |
5 o’clock | Son las cinco |
6 o’clock | Son las seis |
7 o’clock | Son las siete |
8 o’clock | Son las ocho |
9 o’clock | Son las nueve |
10 o’clock | Son las diez |
11 o’clock | Son las once |
12 o’clock | Son las doce |
:15 | cuarto |
:30 | media |
:45 | menos cuarto |
y | and |
menos | minus |
Spanish=English
¿Que hora es?= What time is it?
Son las doce y media= It is 12:30
Son las tres y cuarto= It is 3:15
Es la una y diez= It is 1:10
Son las dos menos cuarto= It is 1:45
There are other numbers you have to know to become experts at telling time.
If it is 1:55 you can say Son las dos menos cinco. or you can say Es la una y cincuenta y cinco.
These both mean the same thing, they are two different ways of saying 1:55.
The following numbers are numbers you need to know:
:20 | veinte |
:30 | trenta |
:40 | cuarenta |
:50 | cincuenta |
So if you wanted to say it was 6:40 you could say:
Son las seis y cuarenta.
Son las siete menos veinte.
They both mean the same thing.
If it is AM you should say de la mañana after the time.
If it is the afternoon you should say de la tarde after the time.
If it is PM you should say de la noche after the time.
Ex:
1:05pm= Es la una y cinco de la tarde.
11:27pm= Son las once y vientisiete de la noche.
8:30am= Son las ocho y media de la mañana.
Here is a video about a boy who is late for class and asks his Puerto Rican friend what time it is.
