Tell time in Spanish

¿Qué hora es? = What time is it?

For times between 1:00 and 1:59 use "Es la" for "It is".
Example: Es la una = It's 1 ' clock.
Es la una y cinco = It's 1:05.

For time between 2:00 and 12:59 use "Son las" for "It is".
Example: Son las dos. = It's 2:00." Son las doce" = "It is 12:00."

To add minutes to your time add y and the number of minutes.

Example: It's 1:01. = Es la una y uno.  It's 4:14. = Son las cuatro y catorce.

For :30 use y media
For :15 use y cuarto or y quince.

Weather Project

Today, you will be developing a “Television Weather Forecast” for the Spanish-speaking city of your choice. 

Spanish Weather Project El Tiempo 
 Part A: Prepare a Weather Forecast 
1. Choose a Spanish-speaking country and research the types of weather patterns present in that country (sunny, rains often, snowy, etc.). 
2. Create a typical weather forecast, in Spanish , that one might see in the country you have chosen. Your forecast should predict the weather for 5 (five) days in a row (ex. Monday – Friday). 

You should include: 
a. Changes in the weather from day to day (don ’ t forget to label your days in Spanish!) 
b. Changes in weather over the course of a day (ex. rainy in the morning, then sunny in the afternoon)

You must write your forecast in script form.

 3. The last step of the project will be to videotape your forecast to the class.
