Telling the Time in French - L'Heure
Remember: in French, you can tell the time using either the 12 hour clock or the 24 hour clock.
When talking to a friend, you don't need to use the 24 hour clock but you can use the 12 hour
clock. However, the SNCF, for instance, (French National Rail) uses the 24 hour clock. It is the
official way to tell the time. So, you need to know how to tell the time both with the 12 hour clock
and the 24 hour clock.

What time is Quelle heure est-il ?

it?
It's one 1h00
Il est une heure
o'clock
It's two 2h00
Il est deux heures
o'clock
It's 3:30 Il est trois heures et demie = it's half past three 3h30
Il est trois heures trente = it's three thirty
It's 4:15 Il est quatre heures et quart = it's quarter past four 4h15
Il est quatre heures quinze = it's four fifteen
It's 4:45 Il est cinq heures moins le quart = it's quarter to five 4h45
Il est cinq heures moins quinze = literally: « it's five hours
minus fifteen »
Il est quatre heures quarante-cinq = it's four forty five
It's 5:10 Il est cinq heures dix = it's ten past five 5h10
It's 6:50 Il est sept heures moins dix = it's ten to seven 6h50
Il est six heures cinquante = it's six fifty
It's 7am Il est sept heures du matin = it's seven in the morning 7h00
It's 3pm Il est trois heures de l'après-midi = it's three in the afternoon 15h00
Il est quinze heures = literally: « it's fifteen hours » (24 hour
clock)
It's 6pm Il est six heures du soir = it's six in the evening 18h00
Il est dix-huit heures = literally: « it's eighteen hours » (24 hour
clock)
It's noon Il est midi 12h00
It's midnight Il est minuit 0h00
Notes
French doesn't have words for "a.m." and "p.m." You can use du matin for a.m., de l'après-midi
from noon until 6p.m., and du soir from 6p.m. until midnight but time is usually expressed on a
24-hour clock.
Thus 3pm would be translated as quinze heures or 15h00.
In French, you have to say heure (except with midi and minuit), even though in English "o'clock"
is often left out. In addition, the French hour and minute are separate by h (for heure) where in
8
English we use a semi-colon :

 Ma Journée

Bonjour je m’appelle Nicole et j’ai treize ans. Voici une journée typique.

Ma journée commence très tôt. En général, je me réveille à six heures et demie, puis je me lève à sept heures. Je vais

dans la salle de bain et je me douche. Ma mère prépare le petit déjeuner. D’habitude je prends des tartines avec de

la confiture et un jus d’orange. Après le petit déjeuner, je me brosse les dents et les cheveux. Je me prépare pour

l’école. Je quitte la maison vers sept heures et demie. Je vais à l’école en voiture avec ma mère. Les cours

commencent à huit heures vingt.

J’étudie l’anglais, le français, les maths, l’histoire, la géographie, les sciences et l’EPS. J’adore le français parce que la

prof est super, mais je n’aime pas les sciences parce qu’il y a beaucoup de devoirs et c’est difficile. J’ai six cours par

jour. Les cours finissent à quinze heures vingt-cinq.

Après l’école je rentre chez moi et je fais mes devoirs pendant deux heures. Ensuite, je regarde la télé ou je fais du

sport avec mes amies. Je dine avec ma famille vers dix-neuf heures tous les soirs. Après le diner, je regarde encore la

télé, je continue mes devoirs ou je lis un livre. Je me brosse les dents et puis je me couche vers neuf heures et demie

du soir. C’est une longue journée !
