Document Summary
Examples: son las ocho it"s 8 o"clock, son las nueve y media it"s half-past nine, son las seis menos cuarto it"s quarter-to six, son las dos y veinte de la man ana it"s 2:20 a. m. So, you now know how to tell the time in spanish. Now let"s use it to describe when something happens. To do this, you use a las followed by the time as described above (a las tres means "at 3 o"clock"). Just use por la, followed by one of the entries in the table (por la noche means "at night"): Los tiempos del di a the times of the day. Man ana tarde evening noche: since it"s always "por la", this means that these times-of-day are all feminine. Examples: a las ocho de la man ana, tomo mi desayuno. At 8:00am, i eat breakfast: por la tarde, le gusta ver la tele.
