  • 1 The clock

    What time is it?
    In timetables etc., the twenty-four hour clock is used, so that 4 pm is seize heures. In ordinary usage, one says quatre heures (de l’après-midi).
    what time is it?
    = quelle heure est-il?
    my watch says five o’clock
    = il est cinq heures à ma montre
    could you tell me the time?
    = pouvez-vous me donner l’heure?
    it’s exactly four o’clock
    = il est quatre heures juste or il est exactement quatre heures
    it’s about four
    = il est environ quatre heures
    it’s almost three o’clock
    = il est presque trois heures
    it’s just before six o’clock
    = il va être six heures
    it’s just after five o’clock
    = il est à peine plus de cinq heures
    it’s gone five
    = il est cinq heures passées
    When?
    French never drops the word heures: at five is à cinq heures and so on.
    French always uses à, whether or not English includes the word at. The only exception is when there is another preposition present, as in vers cinq heures (towards five o’clock), avant cinq heures (before five o’clock) etc.
    what time did it happen?
    = à quelle heure cela s’est-il passé?
    what time will he come at?
    = à quelle heure va-t-il venir?
    it happened at two o’clock
    = c’est arrivé à deux heures
    he’ll come at four
    = il viendra à quatre heures
    at ten past four
    = à quatre heures dix
    at half past eight
    = à huit heures et demie
    at three o’clock exactly
    = à trois heures précises
    at about five
    = vers cinq heures or à cinq heures environ
    at five at the latest
    = à cinq heures au plus tard
    a little after nine
    = un peu après neuf heures
    it must be ready by ten
    = il faut que ce soit prêt avant dix heures
    I’ll be here until 6 pm
    = je serai là jusqu’à six heures du soir
    I won’t be here until 6 pm
    = je ne serai pas là avant six heures du soir
    it lasts from seven till nine
    = cela dure de sept à neuf heures
    closed from 1 to 2 pm
    = fermé entre treize et quatorze heures
    every hour on the hour
    = toutes les heures à l’heure juste
    at ten past every hour
    = toutes les heures à dix
    This fuller form is possible in all similar cases in this list. It is used only in ‘official’ styles.
    ‡ Quatre heures et quart sounds less official than quatre heures quinze ( and similarly et demie and moins le quart are the less official forms). The demie and quart forms are not used with the 24-hour clock.
    § Demi agrees when it follows its noun, but not when it comes before the noun to which it is hyphenated, e.g. quatre heures et demie but les demi-heures etc. Note that midi and minuit are masculine, so midi et demi and minuit et demi.
