How to tell time

There are three ways to ask for time in spanish. 
¿Qué hora es? ¿Qué hora son? ¿Qué hora tiene(s)? 

The following are statements to how you can answer: 

1:OO    ES LA UNA  ( EN PUNTO) 
2:00    SON LAS DOS (EN PUNTO)  3:00    SONLAS TRES  (EN PUNTO)
4:00    SON LAS CUATRO      ( EN PUNTO) 5:00    SON LAS CINO  (EN PUNTO)
6:00    SON LAS SEIS  (EN PUNTO)  7:00    SON LAS SIETE  (EN PUNTO) 
8:00   SON LAS OCHO  (EN PUNTO)  9:00    SON LAS NUEVE  (EN PUNTO) 
10:00  SON LAS DIEZ  (EN PUNTO)  11:00  SON LAS ONCE  (EN PUNTO) 
12:00    SON LAS DOCE  (EN PUNTO)
    12:00 AM   ES LA MEIANOCHE.  ( IT'S MIDNIGHT) 
       12:00 PM   ES LE MEDIODIA    (IT'S NOON) 

Minutes can be stated simply by separating the hour using “y".

Son las seis y cinco. It is 6:05
Son las siete y diez. 
It is 7:10
Son las once y diecinueve.
 It is 11:19

We use media to indicate the half hour and use cuarto to indicate the quarter hours.

Es la una y media. It is 1:30
   Son las cuatro y mediaIt is 4:30.
    Es la una y cuarto. It is 1:15.

It is customary to use menos to tell time during the second half of each hour. We simply state the number of minutes until the following hour.

Es la una menos diez. It is 12:50. (It is ten until one.)
Son las cinco menos cinco.
 It is 4:55. (It is five until five.)

Son las diez menos veinte. 
It is 9:40. (It is twenty until ten.)

Son las ocho menos cuarto.
 It is 7:45. (It is quarter until eight.)


The following are some main words you should remember when you respond:

... de la mañana  ( in the morning) ... y cuarto ( quarter after) 
... de la tarde ( in the afternoon) ... mesos cuarto ( quarter of) 
... de la noche ( in the evening)  ... y media ( haft past) 
 

Son las siete y cuarto de la mañana. It's 7:15 a.m. (It is 7:15 in the morning.)

Son las cuatro menos cinco de la tarde. It's 3:55 p.m. (It is five before four in the afternoon.)

Son las ocho y media de la noche. It's 8:30 p.m. (It is eight and a half at night).






Time are essentially very important for everyone to keep track of. If I am in a country that only speak Spanish, I think I will be late for school.

Lobbying Post #2 - Flash Mobs/Curfews

​Living in the 4th district means that Curtis Jones Jr represents me in the city council. He is the most formidable advocate for education and community development. He also grew up in Philadelphia and graduated from Overbrook High School and University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Government. He's a member of multiples committees and has served in various public and private sector positions for more than two decades. 

On October 12th 2011, city council voted upon a new curfew for the city. Councilman Curtis Jones Jr was for the new law. He claimed that not only will this stop flash mobs, as it has done in the past couple months, but it will decrease the amount of violent juvenile crime. The law was voted upon and is now set into law for 2 years. This law will fine parents if their children are out past curfew. However, it is said that not every person out past curfew will receive consequences, some will simply just be told to go home, which in the past has worked. To keep more police on patrol to watch out for curfews, it will cost the city about $56,000 a weekend.

Trick for memorizing Spanish Alphabets

You probably had noticed that some of the Spanish Alphabets starts off with “e” and then the letter itself (two or one times) and ends with an “e”.
The pattern started after the letter E
These are the alphabets:
E-e
F-efe
L-ele
LL-elle
M-eme
N-ene
Ñ-eñe
R-ere
RR-erre
S-ese
Ve Chica and doble ve is very easy to memorize if you know the trick. Since, Ve sounds like the English alphabet of saying “V”. You would know that V is Ve chica (it start with a V too) and then doble ve can be view as double “V” which symbolized “W”!

Tú vs Usted

In spanish there are two ways  to ask people something. One is to say  tú= informal and one is Usted= formal. 
Tú can also translate to english as "you". You only use tú to talk to a friend, or people who are younger than you, or people who are close to you and they are about your age.
Usted (ud) means  sir/mam in english. You use Ud when you're talking to a older person, Like your teacher, your mom/dad, and their friends. If you do not know the person or you are unsure of their age, use ustead.
For example:
