To ask the time:

What time is it? - Qúe hora es?

To tell the time:

Son las- (whatever time it is only if its NOT one) Son Las= plural

Es la- (whatever time it ONLY one) Ea la= single

Example: 9:10 = Son las nueve y diez. Ten minutes past nine.

:15= cuarto

:30= media

:45= menos cuarto

:55= menos cinco

Use ‘Y” for mintues past the hour.

Use “Menos” for minutes of the hour.

Say is its 2:15 in the evening. So you would say dos y cuarto.

Using the time could apply in a real life situation. Such as, when you waiting for the bus and you need to know how much longer it will take for your bus to arrive.

Knowing the days of the week is an essential part of espanol. One thing to know about the days of the week is that when they are written out you do not start in capitals.

To ask someone what day of the week it is you would say: Que dia es hoy?

Ex.

Person 1: Que dia es hoy?

Person 2: Hoy es domingo.

Person 1: Gracias.

Person 2: De nada.

The number 10 in Spanish is pronounced, diez.

The first five numbers after that (from 11 to 15) are pronounced differently from the digit in it’s tens place. They are:

11. Once

12. Doce

13. Trece

14. Catorce

15. Quince

the numbers 16 to 19 all use the word for the tens place, such as deici seis, dieci siete, and so on.

The number 20 is pronounced, “veinte” in Spanish to say 21 through 29, use the word for 20 just as you did for ten in numbers 16 to 19. However, instead of using “veinte,” swap out the E for an I and use “veinti.”

(examples) veintiuno, veintidos, veintitres.

The number 30 is pronounced, “treinta.” For the thirties through the ninties, to add ones place digits, all you do is say the number “and” the ones place.

(examples) treinta y uno, treinta y dos, treinta y tres.

The next places follow the rules described for thirty.

Cuarenta     o Forty

Cincuenta   o Fifty

Sesenta       o Sixty

Setenta        o Seventy

Ochenta      o Eighty

Noventa      o Ninety

Practice this by saying the following numbers in Spanish:

  o Eighty-five

  o Twenty-four

  o Fifty-eight

  o Ninty-nine

 The 100’s

  o To say 100 you say “cien.” To put tens and ones places after it, replace “cein” with “ciento” and then say the rest of the number.

    • (Example) 123 would be pronounced “ceinto veintitres.”

  o All other numbers in the 100’s place follow the same rule as 100.

Doscien(tos)      200 (and)

Trescien(to)       300 (and)

Cuatrocien(tos)  400 (and)

Quinien(tos)      500 (and)

Sesien(tos)        600 (and)

Setecien(tos)     700 (and)

Ochocien(tos)   800 (and)

Novecien(tos)   900 (and)

Finally, the pronounciation of 1000 is “mil.”
