Explanation:
In this activity we have to listen to the audios and fill in the blanks with the classes´s times.
In Spanish there are a few ways to tell the time. We can say the full number.
Also, when the hour is :00, we say "en punto" (o`clock). i.e. Son las cuatro en punto (It´s four o`clock)
When the hour is :15, we can say "y cuarto" (and a quarter) i.e. Las nueve y cuarto de la mañana (Nine and a quarter in the morning)
When the hour is :30, we can say "y media" (and a half) i.e. Las ocho y media (eight and a half)
When the hour is :45 or more, we can say "las... menos cuarto" (a quarter to...). i.e. Las cuatro menos cuarto (a quarter to four); las tres menos diez de la tarde (ten to three in the afternoon)
In Spanish, 12:00 pm is "medio día" (noon, midday)
The sentences in english are:
1. Biology class: Is at noon (12:00 pm)
2. Art class: Is at nine and a quarter in the morning (9:15 am)
3. Math class: Is at eight and a half in the morning (8:30)
4. Literature class: Is at a quarter to four in the afternoon (3:45 pm)
5. History class: Is at ten to eleven in the morning (10:50 am)
6. Sociology class: Is at five to two in the afternoon (1:55 pm)
