how to ask the time in spanish

Posted by Laura De Jesús on

Hello fellow readers, thank you for choosing my lesson to help your spanish needs. In this lesson you will learn how to tell and ask time in spanish. But before we get to the hard stuff you must know the question. The question is "What time is it?". Also you must know all the numbers from 1 to 12. (Say them properly). 



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.



In the next lesson you will learn how to greet people in spanish so stay tuned!

¿Cuál es tu número de teléfono?= What's your phone number?

Es el  _____-______-___________= It is _____-_____-___________


Now that you know how to count in spanish you must now learn how to cut up your phone number so you can say it in spanish.


 Lets just say that your number is 215-676-6579.

Some people might say Es el dos uno cinco- seis etc.

But this is not how you say your number in spanish the way it looks is different. It looks like this...

2/15-6/76-65/79 and you would say it like this:

dos/quince-seis/setenta y seis-sesenta y cinco/setenta y nueve


Here is a video of a boy asking for a girls phone number.

How to tell the months in Spanish

Posted by Laura De Jesús on

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

For starters you must know your numbers from 1 to 31. 


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

12. December - diciembre 


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


Thanks for using this blog as you resource, don't get off yet weather is next!


Your new to the school, and you ask someone in your class what month is the science fair.
