How do you say "between 7 and 8 in the morning"? Is that: "entre 7 y 8 de la mañana" or "desde las 7 hasta las 8 de la mañana"? I think the first one sounds more correct, but is "entre" used also for time or is it only used for physical objects?

'Entre' sounds right to me too - galsally, Mar 12, 2010
I was wondering exactly the same ! :P - Alrisaera, Mar 12, 2010
The answer I got is that entre...y is right. However, I also have to add "las" to make that "entre las 7 y las 8 de la manana". - Rikko, Mar 12, 2010

"between 7 and 8 in the morning" "entre las 7 y las 8 de la mañana"
"from 7 till 8 in the morning" "desde las 7 hasta las 8 de la mañana"
desde, entre, hasta they are all prepositions and used same as in English, so for everything, hope it helps

Entre is used for time. I can't imagine desde in that situation but then again I'm just a learner too so many someone can tell you more, but I really really can't imagine desde hasta.
