TIME IN FRENCH
In French, time is usually based on the 24-
hour clock, like "military time". Instead of 1 to
11 a.m., followed by 12 to 11 p.m.
 The clock continues counting up from 12, so

that 1 p.m. is 13, 2 p.m. is 14, all the way up


to 24.
 The periods of the day

• du matin: In the morning, until noon.


• de l’après-midi: From noon until 6 p.m.
• du soir: From 6 p.m. until midnight.
• du matin: in the morning or am (between
midnight and 11 a.m.)

 How do you tell time in French:-
The simplest formula to tell the time in French is
“il est”
 Periods of Time in French:

 Une seconde: a second

Seconde is a feminine noun in French: une


seconde.
The plural is “les secondes”.
 Une minute: a minute

Minute is a feminine noun: une minute.


The plural is “les minutes”.
 Une heure: a hour

Heure is a feminine noun in French: une heure.


The plural is: “les heures”. The word “heures”
begins with a mute h.
THE FRACTIONS
 Et quart
For 15 minutes past the hour you can say “et quart”
(meaning and a quarter).
For example:
Il est une heure et quart: it’s a quarter past one.
 Et demie
For 30 minutes past the hour, you can say “et demie”
(meaning and a half).
For example:
Il est six heures et demie: It’s half past six.
 Moins le quart
For a quarter until the hour, you can say “moins le
quart” (meaning minus the quarter).
For example:
Il est trois heures moins le quart: it is a quarter until 3;
or 2:45.
 The French use a little "h" instead of the colon (:)
when writing down the time.
Example: 10h00 NOT 10:00
 Here’s an example:
Il est 11 heures 35. (It’s 11:35.).
When writing the time, the French usually use just an “h” to
stand in for “heures”, so you’d typically see this statement
written as Il est 11h35.
