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.

Origen de los días de la semana (Origin of the days of the week)

Orígen de los días de la semana (Origin of the days of the week)

Spanish adopted the Roman names for the five days of the week. The end of the five names –es is an abbreviation of the Latin word to say day “dies”.

Lunes – Lunae dies

Martes – Martis dies

Miércoles – Mercurii dies

Jueves – Lovis dies (Jupiter)

Viernes – Venus dies

On the other hand, the words “sábado” and “domingo”, were not adopted from the Roman model. Sábado (Saturday) has Hebrew origin from the word “Sabbat”, which makes reference to the “day for resting”. Finally, Domingo (Sunday) has its origin in the Latin word “Dominus” which means Lord, then Sunday is the Day of the Lord.

Hablando de futuro (Talk about the future)

Spanish has several grammatical forms for the future, the basic one is shown in the table. As you previously learned for the present simple, to conjugate the future simple form, regular verbs finish by –AR, -ER and IR. To conjugate the verb, you need to add the appropriate ending to the verb’s root, corresponding to gender and number.

For example, the root of the verb “Hablar” is “Habl”, adding the ending “aré” (Habl+aré) makes the first person of the singular.
