Telling Time in Spanish Language
If you’re anything like me, you consult your watch or a clock on a nearby wall several times a day. Knowing how to understand, speak, and write time-related words and phrases is a must for anyone who’s studying a foreign language and planning to put these studies to use (to do some traveling one day, for instance).
If you hear ¿Qué hora es? someone wants to know the time. You should start by responding with the following: Es la una + 1 o’clock hour or Son las + any time after 1
To express the time after the hour (but before half past the hour), use y (and) and the number of minutes. Use menos (less) + the number of the following hour to express the time before the next hour (after half past the hour)
.
You can also express time numerically (as shown in the third example here):
Es la una y media. (It’s 1:30.)
Son las cinco menos veinte. (It’s 4:40.)
Son las cuatro y cuarenta. (It’s 4:40.)
If you want to discuss at what time a particular event will occur, you can use a questi — ¿A qué hora . . . ? — or answer with A la una or A las + any time after 1:
¿A qué hora vienen? (At what time are they coming?)
A la una. (At 1:00.)
A las tres y cuarto. (At 3:15.)
The following chart shows how to express time after and before the hour:
