Repaso - La hora	

¿Qué hora es? ¿A qué hora?
(telling time)	
I. Asking for the time 
To find out what time it is, you ask ¿Qué hora es? 
To find out at what time something will take place, you ask ¿A qué hora? 
¿Qué hora es? Son las cinco.
What time is it? It is 5:00.
¿A qué hora es la clase de inglés? Mi clase es a las siete..
At what time is your English class? My English class is at 7:00.	
II. Giving the time. 
A. la hora
To give only the hour we use "Son las _____________" for every hour but 1:00. 
For example, "Son las seis" would tell someone that is was 6:00. 
How would we say that it was 8:00? That's right! ¡Son las ocho! And 11:00? ¡Son las once! 
Why do you think telling someone it is 1:00 would be different than the other 11 hours? 
Sí, eso es. 1:00 is the only singular hour. Therefore we use Es la una! 
If you want to tell someone that something begins at a certain hour, just use an "a" in place of the es or son. 

If you want to say at 6:00, it would be a las seis! And at 8:00? Sí, a las ocho. And at 11:00? That's it! ¡A las once!
B. La hora (:01-:30)
To tell any time between :01 and :30 after the hour we just add the minutes to the hour. Do you remember doing some addition in Module 1? What did we use? That's right, we used "y." We use the same thing with time.
Son las seis y veinte tells someone that it is 6:20. 
And 8:10? Sí, son las ocho y diez. 
How about 1:25? Sí, es la una y veinticinco.
There are 2 instances in which we do not use the numbers. They are :15 (cuarto) and :30 (media.) In English we do the same. If it is 3:15, sometimes we say 3:15 and other times "a quarter after 3."
In Spanish 3:15 is just that "Son las tres y cuarto." 
And 4:15? Son las cuatro y cuarto. (notice the spelling of 4 and ¼)
What do we say for :30? Yes, half past. In Spanish 3:30 is Son las tres y media. And 1:30? ¡Espléndido! Es la una y media.	
C. La hora (:31-:59) 
To tell time between :31 and :59 minutes after the hour we use menos instead of y. Say that it is 2:50. 2:50 is closer to 3:00 than 2:00. 
So we say that it is 3:00 minus 10 minutes. Son las tres menos diez. 
6:55 would be Son las siete menos cinco. 

What about 12:40? ¡Fantástico! Es la una menos veinte. 
"Cuarto" is also used as "quarter till." 8:45 is Son las nueve menos cuarto.	
D. Other time expressions. 
For a.m. and p.m. we use the following:

a.m. de la mañana.

p.m. de la tarde (from 12-6 p. m.)

p.m. de la noche (from 7-11 p. m.)

Son las seis de la mañana.(It is 6:00 a.m.)

Es la una de la tarde. (It is 1:00 p.m.)
Some other frequently used expressions are:
Es la madrugada. (It is early morning.) 

Es mediodía. (It is noon.)

Es medianoche. (It is midnight.)

Es tarde. (It is late.)

Es temprano. (It is early.)

Más verbos reflexivos 
Now that you are very comfortable using the reflexive verbs, we are going to add some of the stem-changing and irregular ones. Look at the following chart: 	

Infinitivo	Meaning	Change	
despertarse	to wake up	This is an e-ie verb.	
vestirse 	to get dressed	This is an e-i verb.	
ponerse 	to put on	This is an irregular go verb.	
divertirse	to enjoy oneself (have a good time)	This is an e-ie verb.	
acostarse 	to go to bed	This is an o-ue verb.	
dormirse	to go to sleep 	This is an o-ue verb.	

The red vowel in the above verbs is the one that will be changing. Remember the rule for a stem-changing verb: the stem changes in every form except for the nosotros and vosotros. Look at the verb despertarse.	

Despertarse		
yo me despierto	nosotros, nosotras nos despertamos 	
tú te despiertas	vosotros, vosotras os despertáis	
él, ella, usted se despierta 	ellos, ellas, ustedes se despiertan 	

Listed below are the reflexive verbs that we have learned.
