Bonjour !

What time is it ?

Il est une heure. (une = singulier)

Il est cinq (5) heureS : pluriel

"heure" = number

2 = deux (2) heureS

3 = trois (3) heureS

4 = quatre (4) heureS......................

How do you say "it is noon”?

Il est midi.

How do you say “it is midnight"?

Il est minuit.

For "noon” and “midnight,” which word do you leave out?

- "heure"

Bonjour

What time is it ? ►Quelle heure est-il ?

Is it = est-il (don't forget the hyphen between "est" and "il"

-

The spelling of heure is different because "heure" agrees in number ►

il est une heure. ►Il est deux heures

-

It is noon ► Il est midi.

-

It is midnight ► Il est minuit

-

The word you leave out is "heure"

Hope this helps ☺☺☺
