Cultural Tip
In Spanish‑speaking countries, the 12‑hour clock is the norm for everyday conversation, and the article (la/las) is always included when stating the hour. For formal or technical contexts (e.g., train schedules) the 24‑hour clock may be used, but you would still say 'a las 07:00' rather than just '07:00'. Also, when giving a room number, you usually omit the article and say the number as a single block (doscientos diez).
