1. Excuse me, where's the hospital? (Мы убрали повторяющееся слово is, т.к. where's = where is) 2. It's quater past eleven.

Когда мы хотим сказать, что делаем что-то один или два раза в неделю (или месяц, год и т.д.) в Present Simple, то мы пишем once a week или twice a week. Вот зато если мы хотим сказать, что делаем что-то три, четыре или более раз в неделю (месяц, год и т.д.), то говорим three times a week или four times a week, five times a week... и т.д. и т.д. Это такое правило, и его надо просто выучить.)
