¿A qué hora tienes que sacar el equipaje?
At what time do you have to take the luggage out?
From Lesson 58:Obligation (tener que)·Spanish (Spain)

Questions & Answers about ¿A qué hora tienes que sacar el equipaje?

Why is there a que between tienes and sacar?
In Spanish, when you want to say you "have to" do something, you must use the special phrase tener que followed by an infinitive verb (an action word in its basic, unchanged form, like sacar). Without the que, tener just means to physically own or possess something.
Why do we start the question with A instead of just asking ¿Qué hora tienes que...?
In English, we often ask "What time do you have to...?", but in Spanish, if an action happens at a specific time, you must include the a (at). ¿Qué hora es? means "What time is it?", but ¿A qué hora...? means "At what time...?".
Can I use las maletas instead of el equipaje here?
Yes! El equipaje means "the luggage" or "the baggage", which is a singular word that covers all your bags together, just like in English. If you wanted to specifically talk about "the suitcases", you could say las maletas instead. Both make sense in this context.
Is it okay to include the word tú in this sentence?
Yes, it is grammatically correct to say ¿A qué hora tú tienes que sacar el equipaje?, but native speakers almost always leave the tú out. The verb form tienes already makes it perfectly clear that you are talking to "you" (informal).
