Questions
How do you tell the time in Spanish?
Use 'Es la una' for one o'clock and 'Son las' + the hour for the rest. Add 'en punto' (o'clock), 'y cuarto' (quarter past), 'y media' (half past), or 'menos cuarto' (quarter to the next hour).
Why 'es la una' but 'son las dos'?
One o'clock is singular (la una → es la), every other hour is plural (las dos, las tres → son las).
