Pilar: ¡Hola, Fred! ¿Qué hora es?

In Spanish, this question is a common way to know the time. This means what time is it? In fact, this is the most common question you will find if someone want to know the time.

Fred: Hola, Pilar. Son las dos y media.

In Spanish, we use the verb ser to tell someone the time of day. We use es (a conjugation of this verb) when telling that it is one o'clock. On the other hand, we use son (another conjugation of this verb) for all other hours.

Pilar: Gracias. ¿Vas tú al partido de fútbol hoy?

Fred: Posiblemente. ¿A qué hora es el partido?

When asking for a specific activity we begin the question with ¿A qué hora es... [the activity]?

Pilar: A las cinco y cuarto.

If we want to say that something will occur at a specific time, we need to use the formula a + la(s) + time.
