It's About Time!

The Spanish word for morning is mañana.

Here you are looking for the base form of a verb. The first answer means 'to read'. The second answer means 'to remember'. The last answer means 'to plan' and the third answer means 'to sleep'.

As the time of the day is past 1 o’clock, the verb used needs to be plural. Each answer has correctly used 'son' for 'is'. The second answer reads: It is ten to ten. That is not the correct answer. The third answer reads: It is ten of ten - or - It is ten from ten. That, too, is not correct. The last answer reads: It is ten in the morning. That is definitely not the correct translation of the given sentence. The first answer reads: It is ten past ten. (The literal translation is: It is ten and ten. When translated into English, means: It is ten past ten.)

The Spanish word for afternoon is tarde.

The rule with telling the time is that the verb 'son' is used for all time other than 1 o’clock. The verb 'es' needs to be used with 1 o’clock. Even though the number 1 is shown here, it is more than just 1 o’clock so 'es' would not be correct in the translation. The second answer can then be eliminated. The first answer reads: They are the one twenty-three. That is not a correct translation. The third answer also reads: They are the one twenty-three. Notice that both the first and third answers are missing the Spanish word of 'y'. The removal or absence of the correct 'y' usage changes the meaning of the time sentences. The last answer read: It is one twenty-three. Also remember that the number 'one' is an adjective here as it is describing the hour. As hour in Spanish is 'hora' and it is a feminine word, then one must also be feminine, i.e., 'una'.

The Spanish word for minutes is minutos.

The first answer reads: We eat at twenty past five. It also reads as: We eat as 5:20. That is not the correct answer. The third answer reads: We eat at forty past five and/or, We eat at 5:40. That is also not correct. The last answer reads: We eat at three past five and/or, We eat at 5:03. Again, that is not the correct translation of the given sentence. The second answer reads: We eat at half past five and/or, We eat at 5:30.

The Spanish word for hand is mano.

The first answer means 'cake'. The third answer means 'afternoon'. The last answer means 'midnight' and the second answer means 'hour'. In Spanish when you are asking for the time you are asking: What hour is it?

The first answer reads: It is forty-five eleven. That is not the correct translation. The second answer reads: There are eleven forty-five. That, too, is not the correct translation. The third answer reads: They are eleven forty-five. Again, that is not a correct translation. It is missing the Spanish word of 'y'. The last answer reads: It is eleven forty-five. Notice that by adding in the Spanish word of 'y' between once and cuarenta it changes it from 'they are' to 'it is'.
