Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, clubs and associations use SER to talk about regular meeting times because they are considered fixed events. If you want to sound more casual, you can ask “¿A qué hora son las reuniones?” – the nuance is that “¿Cuándo?” asks for the day as well as the hour, while “¿A qué hora?” focuses only on the hour. Remember to use the inverted question mark at the beginning of the sentence; omitting it is a common mistake for learners.
