Time has already been explained in the difference of hours and minutes, but yet, we have to be more specific about the moment of the day of those times: Morning, afternoon, evening or night –AM or PM-. In Spanish, of course, we also specify the moment of these periods of the day that we are […]
As we had said in the previous post, we are going to keep adding minutes to the clock; now, from 30 minutes onwards. It is a very special and Spanish way of telling time from 30’ onwards. Is actually very easy in idea but annoying because it is something that is not really normal in […]
Now that we have already seen sharp times in another post, let’s add minutes after the hour. Remember: ¿QUÉ HORA ES? WHAT TIME IS (IT)? 1:00 → ES LA UNA (IT) IS THE ONE → (IT’S ONE) 2:00 → SON LAS DOS ARE THE DOS → (IT’S TWO) Let’s add minutes in the […]
Once we have had a throwback on our number’s vocabulary and rechecked them it is time to tell – what time is it?- . Let’s see it and check the small differences from English then: ¿QUÉ HORA ES? WHAT TIME IS (IT)? 1:00 → ES LA UNA (IT) IS THE ONE → (IT’S ONE) ◊ […]
One of the most common questions in Spanish is: ¿Cómo estás? (How are you?) and the answer: Yo Estoy bien/mal (I am good/bad)… It is a temporary state as it changes clearly. Sometimes you are good, tired, sleepy…so, it will take us to the verb Estar (temporary to be). Let’s see temporary adjectives that can […]
let’s have a throwback and see the numbers in Spanish again. So far, it was not really important these numbers vocabulary but when expressing your age; From this post on, we are going to use it quite often whenever we are telling -What time is it- or specially when we are giving a specific time […]
We have already seen the most common expressions to express weather in other posts; our very own non-personal expressions with the verbs HACER, LLOVER and NEVAR, and, the use of the verb SER to describe the weather as we do in English. Those expressions can be interchanged among them, whether the question is made with […]
After seeing our Spanish expression in weather terms –¿QUÉ TIEMPO HACE?-, we are going to describe the weather with the verb SER as you do in English with the verb TO BE, of course. The first thing that needs to be told, is that this is a permanent description. Even though the weather changes, we […]
Here comes the rain. We have to be able, of course, to express when the weather is rainy. We have in Spanish a non-personal verb in a weather matter to express so. This verb is LLOVER in its infinitive form. Let’s see it and we will keep explaining it after: ¿QUÉ TIEMPO HACE EN BARCELONA? […]
Once we have already explained the weird grammatical format of our very own expression of -How’s the weather like?- in another post, let’s start using it. First remember, once again: ¿QUÉ TIEMPO HACE EN BARCELONA? WHAT WEATHER MAKES IN BARCELONA? → (How’s the weather like in Barcelona?) EN BARCELONA HACE CALOR IN BARCELONA MAKES HEAT […]
