Qué hora es? Part 2.


Here is the second part of how to tell time in Spanish.

We say Son las _____ Y __________ when the minute hand in the clock is before the half hour. For example:
Son las 3 y 20. It's 3:20

However, we say Son las _______ MENOS _________ when the minute hand has passed the half hour and is before the hour. For example:
Son las 9 menos 20 means it is 9 minus 20 minutes. In other words, it is 8:40
