→ Although o’clock may be left out in English, the expression heure(s) must be used in French when giving the time.

It’s ten. (It’s ten o’clock.)         Il est dix heures.

→ To distinguish between A.M. and P.M., the French use the following expressions:

du matin                     in the morning             Il est dix heures du matin.
de l’après-midi           in the afternoon           Il est deux heures de l’après-midi.
du soir                        in the evening              Il est huit heures du soir.

 

NOTE DE PRONONCIATION: In telling time, the NUMBER and the word heure(s) are linked together. Remember, in French the letter “h” is always silent.

une_heure    deux_heures     trois_heures    quatre_heures    cinq_heures    six_heures

sept_heures    huit_heures    neuf_heures    dix_heures    onze_heures
