Let’s go clock by clock and fill in the blanks with the correct Spanish time expressions.
---
First row, first clock:
- Time shown: 8:00
- Already given: “It is 8:00 o’clock.” → In Spanish:
Son las ocho.
But wait — the worksheet says to fill in the blanks *with the times of day in Spanish*. The example under the first clock already has the English version. So we need to write the Spanish version below each blank line.
Actually, looking again — the instructions say: “Fill in the blanks with the times of day in Spanish.” And under each clock, there’s an English description, then a blank line. So we are to write the Spanish translation of that time on the blank line.
So let’s do each one:
---
Clock 1 (top left):
- English: “It is 8:00 o’clock.”
- Spanish:
Son las ocho.
---
Clock 2 (top middle):
- English: “It is 10:30.”
- Spanish: For half past, we say “y media” →
Son las diez y media.
---
Clock 3 (top right):
- English: “It is 11:45. (It is 12:00 minus 15 minutes.)”
- In Spanish, for 45 minutes past, it’s common to say “menos cuarto” (quarter to).
- So 11:45 = “Doce menos cuarto” → But since it’s before 12, we say:
Son las doce menos cuarto.
Wait — actually, 11:45 is “once y cuarenta y cinco”, but more naturally in Spanish, people say “doce menos cuarto”.
Yes — standard way:
Son las doce menos cuarto.
---
Clock 4 (bottom left):
- English: “It is 1:00 o’clock.”
- Spanish: For 1:00, we use “es la una” (not “son”) because “una” is singular.
→
Es la una.
---
Clock 5 (bottom middle):
- English: “It is 4:30. (It is four and a half.)”
- Spanish: “Cuatro y media” →
Son las cuatro y media.
---
Clock 6 (bottom right):
- English: “It is 5:15. (It is a quarter past 5:00.)”
- Spanish: “Cinco y cuarto” →
Son las cinco y cuarto.
---
Now let’s list them in order as they appear on the worksheet:
Top row:
1. Son las ocho.
2. Son las diez y media.
3. Son las doce menos cuarto.
Bottom row:
4. Es la una.
5. Son las cuatro y media.
6. Son las cinco y cuarto.
Double-checking:
- 8:00 → Son las ocho
✔
- 10:30 → Son las diez y media
✔
- 11:45 → Son las doce menos cuarto
✔ (common expression)
- 1:00 → Es la una
✔ (singular!)
- 4:30 → Son las cuatro y media
✔
- 5:15 → Son las cinco y cuarto
✔
All correct.
Final Answer:
Son las ocho.
Son las diez y media.
Son las doce menos cuarto.
