       Yo voy                              Nosotros vamos

        Tú vas                                Vosotros vais

           Él/ella/usted va                  Ellos/ellas/ustedes van

Know how to answer the following questions:

1)      ¿Adónde vas? = Where are you going?

Voy a la cafeteria. = I am going to the cafeteria.

Voy al gimnasio. (Remember that ‘a’ +‘el’ becomes ‘al’) = I am going to the gymnasium.

2) ¿Dónde está…?  = Where is…?

¿Dónde está Ricardo? Ricardo está en la clase. = Where is Richard? Richard is in class.

3) ¿Qué hora es? = What time is it?

Es la una/Son las dos. = It is one o’clock/It is two o’clock.

4) ¿A qué hora es…? = At what time is…?  

A la una/a las dos. = At one/two.

Know how to tell time

        1)   Any 1:00 time is considered singular, and you must start your sentence with

        “Es la una.”

Any 2:00-12:00 time is considered plural, and you must start your sentence with

“Son las dos.”

 2) Use ‘y’ + minutes for the number of minutes after the hour.

1:05    Es la una y cinco. (Do not say ‘cero” for zero)

2:10:   Son las dos y diez.

       3) Use ‘menos’ + minutes for the number of minutes before the hour.

12:50   Es la una menos diez.

1:50     Son las dos menos diez.

4) Use ‘cuarto’ for quarter past and ‘media’ for half past.

1:15    Es la una y cuarto.

      Yo estoy                            Nosotros estamos   

      Tú estás                             Vosotros estáis

                                                    ¿Cuáles son los libros? = Which are the books?

(‘Cuál’ cannot be followed directly by a noun: ‘Cuál libro’ is not correct)

Cuándo = when                     ¿Cuándo estudia Ricardo? = When does Ricardo study?

Por qué = why                       ¿Por qué va Ricardo a casa? = Why is Ricardo going home?

Qué = what                            ¿Qué es? = What is it?

Spanish Calendar vocabulary

Giving the date in Spanish:

1)  Remember that days of the week and months are NOT capitalized.

2)  The order of the words is different in Spanish:

                  The number comes first, and the month comes last.

Example:

Hoy es martes, el veintiséis de octubre = Today is Tuesday, October 26th.

(Write out the number word e.g. “veintiséis”, not 26)
