Instructions Recap:
-
Primero la HORA (First, the hour)
-
Segundo los MINUTOS (Second, the minutes)
We’ll use:
- "Es la" or "Son las" depending on whether it's singular (1 o'clock) or plural (2 or more).
- For times before the hour, use
"menos" (e.g., "menos cinco").
- For times at the top of the hour, use
"en punto".

Now, let’s analyze each clock:
---
1. First Clock
- Hour hand: between 3 and 4 →
3
- Minute hand: on 2 → 2 × 5 =
10 minutes

Es la tres y diez
✔ Answer: Es la
tres y
diez

2. Second Clock
- Hour hand: between 12 and 1 →
12
- Minute hand: on 6 → 6 × 5 =
30 minutes
- So:
12:30
- In Spanish:
Es la doce y media (but since it says "y", we can say "doce y treinta")
But note: The blank says “Es la ___ y ___” — so we fill in:

🔍 Tips:
- Use
"es la" for 1 o’clock,
"son las" for 2+.
- When the minute hand is near the hour, use
"menos" (e.g., 50 minutes = 10 less than next hour).
- At exactly :00, use
"en punto".
