										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It can be challenging to use the prepositions POR and PARA correctly in <a href="https://www.spanishdict.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Spanish</a>.

<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Recipient of an action</span> &#8211; Este regalo es <span style="text-decoration: underline;">para</span> ella.</li>

<li><strong>A part of the day</strong> &#8211; Vas a la escuela <strong>por</strong> las mañanas.</li>
<li><strong>An approximate time</strong> &#8211; Voy a verlos <strong>por</strong> Navidad.</li>
<li><strong>Frequency</strong> (when followed by a time unit) &#8211; Corre tres vezes <strong>por</strong> semana. (the time unit being <em>semana</em> here)</li>

<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">A time limit or deadline</span> &#8211; Tengo que hacer mi tarea <span style="text-decoration: underline;">para</span> mañana.</li>
</ul>
<p>When we talk about a Place, POR is used to show:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>A place that you need to pass through in order to get somewhere</strong> &#8211; El tren de Sevilla pasa <strong>por</strong> Madrid.</li>
<li><strong>Movement through a space or place</strong> &#8211; Me gusta pasear <strong>por</strong> el bosque.</li>

<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The direction of a movement</span> &#8211; Se va <span style="text-decoration: underline;">para</span> su casa.</li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How to tell time in Spanish</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 120%;"><strong>Qué hora es? </strong></span><em>What time is it?</em></p>
<p>Sometimes, we use <strong>es la</strong> or <strong>es</strong> and the time of day. <strong>Es la</strong> or <strong>es</strong> is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">singular</span>.<br />
<strong>Es la</strong> una. = It is 1:00.<br />
<strong>Es</strong> mediodía. = It is noon.<br />
<strong>Es</strong> medianoche. = It is midnight.</p>
<p>Most of the time, we use <strong>son las</strong> and the time of day. <strong>Son las</strong> is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plural" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">plural</span></a>.<br />
<strong>Son las</strong> dos. = It is 2:00.<br />
<strong>Son las</strong> tres. = It is 3:00.<br />
…and so on.</p>
<p>To tell the number of minutes past the hour, use <strong>y</strong> followed by the number of minutes.</p>
<p>Es la una <strong>y</strong> cinco. = It is 1:05.</p>
<p>Son las dos <strong>y</strong> diez. = It is 2:10.</p>
<p>In order to say 15 minutes past the hour, or “a quarter hour,” we say <strong><u>cuarto</u></strong><i>.</i></p>
<p><i>Por </i><i>ejemplo</i><i>:  </i>Son las seis y <strong>cuarto</strong>. = It is 6:15.</p>
<p>In order to say 30 minutes past the hour, or “half hour,” we say <strong><i>media</i></strong><i>.</i></p>
<p><i>Por </i><i>ejemplo</i><i>: </i>Son las siete y <strong>media</strong>. = It is 7:30.</p>
<p>If the time is between 31 and 59 minutes past the hour, follow these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Go up to the next hour  <i style="color: #555555;">(for example</i><i style="color: #555555;">, if it is 6:44, the next hour is…?)</i></li>
<li>Figure out the number of minutes until the next hour. <i style="color: #555555;">(for example</i><i style="color: #555555;">, if it is 6:44, there are 16 minutes </i><i style="color: #555555;">until 7)</i></li>
<li>Use “<u>menos</u><u>”</u> instead of “y” to indicate that your are subtracting minutes. (<i style="color: #555555;">ej</i><i style="color: #555555;">., Son las </i><i style="color: #555555;">siete</i> <i style="color: #555555;">menos</i> <i style="color: #555555;">dieciséis</i><i style="color: #555555;">.)</i></li>
</ol>
<p>Un ejemplo: 9:32</p>
<p>1.The next hour after 9:32 is ____.  En español, we start with ___________.</p>
<p>2. How many minutes are there until the next hour? _________</p>
<p>3. Put it together! Remember to say “menos” for minus. __________________________</p>
<p><strong>Check your answers:</strong></p>
<p>Un ejemplo: 9:32</p>
<p>1.The next hour after 9:32 is _<strong>10_</strong>__.  En español, we start with ____<strong>Son las</strong>_______.</p>
<p>2. How many minutes are there until the next hour? ___<strong>28</strong>______</p>
<p>3. Put it together! Remember to say “menos” for minus. _______<strong>Son las 10 menos 28._</strong>_____</p>
