In this question, you’re asked to choose the correct time when presented with two possibilities. The first question gives us “3:00”.

Our two options given are “it’s 3 on the dot” and “it’s 3:30”. Recall the difference betwen *en punto* (on the dot) and *y media* (literally, “and a half”).

a. Son las tres en punto.

In this question, you’re asked to choose the correct time when presented with two possibilities. The second question gives us “9:15”.

The two answers we’re given to choose from are “It is 9 minus a quarter” and “it is 9 and a quarter”. In Spanish, when dealing in quarter-hour intervals, the versions are often not exact to what the English is. For example, while we would maybe just say “nine fifteen”, the literal Spanish translation is “nine and a quarter”.

b. Son las nueve y cuarto.

In this question, you’re asked to choose the correct time when presented with two possibilities. The third question gives us “7:25”.

Our two options are “It is 7 and a half” or “It is 7 and 25”. Recall that the Spanish versions are not literal translations of their English counterparts, but still make a lot of sense.

b. Son las siete y veinticinco.

In this question, you’re asked to choose the correct time when presented with two possibilities. The fourth question gives us “1:30”.

The two answers we must choose from are “It is 1 and a quarter” or “It is one and a half”. *Cuarto* means quarter and refers to 1/4, while *media* means half and refers to, when talking about time, 30 minutes.

b. Es la una y media

In this question, you’re asked to choose the correct time when presented with two possibilities. The fifth question gives us “11.40”.

The two possible answers are “It is 12 minus 20” or “It is 11 and 20.”
Recall that in Spanish, once you past the 30 minute mark (e.g. 11:31, 11:40, etc.) you will subtract the time from the following hour. So instead of saying 11:40, you would say “12 minus 20”

a. Son las once menos veinte.

In this question, you’re asked to choose the correct time when presented with two possibilities. The sixth question gives us “8:10”.

The two options you’re presented with are “it is 8 on the dot” or “It is 8 and 10”. Since the time we’re presented with is earlier than 8:30, we don’t have to worry about subtracting the minutes from the following hour, as we did with times like “11:40”. Recall that *en punto* means “on the dot” so that will not be the correct answer so our given time is not “8:00”.

b. Son las ocho y diez

In this question, you’re asked to choose the correct time when presented with two possibilities. The seventh question gives us “2:50”.

Our two options here are either “It is 3 minus 10” or “it is 3 and 10”. Once again, the time we’re given is past the 30 minute mark on the hour, so we will need a time that involves subtracting minutes from the following hour.

a. Son las tres menos diez.

In this question, you’re asked to choose the correct time when presented with two possibilities. The eighth question gives us “4:05”

The two options we’re given are “It is 4 and 5” or “it is 4 and a quarter”. Try to not get *cuarto* and *cuatro* mixed up. The former means “a quarter” and the latter means “four”. Recall that when we’re talking about time, *cuarto* refers to the 15 minute, quarter hour intervals. Since our time is 4:05, and not 4:15, we will not be using that option.

a. Son las cuatro y cinco.
