35 Telling Time (la hora)

¿Qué hora es? / What time is it?
¿A qué hora? / At what time?
Son las cuarto y media. / It is 4:30 pm
a las cuarto y media / at 4:30
medianoche / midnight
mediodía / noon
de la mañana / in the morning
por la madrugada / in the early morning
de la tarde / in the afternoon
de la noche / in the evening, at night
esta noche / tonight
en punto / o’clock

• Instead of saying ‘It is 4:30 pm.’ or ‘at 4:30 pm’ you can also say ‘It is 4:30 in the afternoon.’ or ‘at 4:30 in the afternoon’. (En vez de decir ‘It is 4:30 pm.’ o ‘at 4:30 pm’ puede decir ‘It is 4:30 in the afternoon.’ o ‘at 4:30 in the afternoon’.)

• Instead of saying ‘It is 1 am.’ you can say ‘It is 1 o’clock.’ or ‘It is 1 in the morning.’ or ‘It is 1 o’clock in the morning.’ (En vez de decir ‘It is 1 am.’ puede decir ‘It is 1 o’clock.’ o ‘It is 1 in the morning.’ o ‘It is 1 o’clock in the morning.’
