El Tiempo Vuela

Domingo already. I just don't know where the week has gone. I've been a social butterfly with one fiesta after another. I did manage to get a few good siestas though. As I get older it seems that time goes faster. It feels as if last week was a real spin.
Factoid: The basic way of telling time in Spanish is use to the singular form of ser ("to be"), which is es, for one o'clock and the plural form, son, for other times. Minutes can be stated simply by separating them from the hour using y, the word for "and."
Es la una. It is 1:00.
Es la una y dos. It is 1:02.
Son las dos. It is 2:00.
Son las tres. It is 3:00.
Son las seis y cinco. It is 6:05.
Son las siete y diez. It is 7:10.
Son las once y diecinueve. It is 11:19.
To indicate the half hour, use media. Use cuarto to indicate the quarter hours.
