Mini-dialogue

¿A qué hora abre?

Abre a las diez.

Try this in conversation: “¿A qué hora abre?” — “What time does it open?” Read the mini-dialogue aloud, change one detail and answer in your own words.

Try it yourself

Invent opening hours for three imaginary places. Ask questions and give the opening and closing times.
