Want another chance to post on last week's thread? Here's the link to no. 7: No. 7 - Estar + Action

A little rhythm my Spanish teacher taught us: "How you feel, where you are, always use the verb ESTAR!" And it is super easy to remember. Then everything else is the SER verb. - Abby_777, Aug 28, 2013

That is cool. On the audio CDs that I use to learn Spanish, it says that estar is a temporary situation, and ser can be permanant. It helps a little, but I have a long way to go. - 0083f5dc, Aug 28, 2013

Thanks Abby & Jl. - katydew, Aug 29, 2013

Answer 1

¿Qué hora es? Son las dos.

Perfecto! - 00e46f15, Aug 29, 2013

Thanks Sylyon. - katydew, Aug 30, 2013

Answer 2

Son las diez y once.

It is 10:00.

A little mistake on the English translation: 10:11. Apparently time to rake leaves. - katydew, Aug 29, 2013

We also say: "Son las diez con once." Or: "Son las diez con once minutos." Or: "Son las diez, once." Yours is OK, too. - 00e46f15, Aug 29, 2013

Answer 3

My appointment to see the shrink is at one o'clock in the afternoon.

Mi cita para hablar con el psiquiatra es a la una de la tarde.

Jejeje! I don't think this is going to be 'brief' therapy. - katydew, Aug 29, 2013

Perfecto! We usually say: Mi cita para ver al psiquiatra... But, your sentence is fine. - 00e46f15, Aug 29, 2013

:-) You could enphasize 1 o'clock like 1 en punto. - Anormal, Sep 4, 2013

Answer 4

The wedding will be at one o'clock in the afternoon. It is in the church behind the bank.

La boda será a la una de la tarde. Es en la iglesia por detrás del banco.

It's not easy being green. - katydew, Aug 29, 2013

Since you said "La boda será..." Then, you will say "Va a ser en la iglesia que está detrás del banco." Muy bien! - 00e46f15, Aug 29, 2013
