Puntualidad (Punctuality)

With regard to timing and punctuality, there will be significant differences across regions in Spain. Northern areas such as Catalunya and Basque country place a lot of importance on punctuality; Andalucia and other southern provinces less so.

¿Qué hora es? (What time is it?)

If you want to know the time you ask which "hour" ("hora") it is. And although the word "tiempo" means "time" (and also "weather"), you never use the word "tiempo" to ask for the time.

The time is given together with the verb "ser" ("to be") and the feminine definite article "la" (la hora).

See how one o'clock is singular (it is only 1 hour) and all other times are plural:

Es la una

Son las dos

Son las tres

Son las cuatro

etc.
