Bonjour

EXO 1

1

12 = il est neuf heures (du matin) / il est neuf heures du soir

24 = il est vingt-et-une heures (du soir)

2

12 = il est deux heures et quart (matin) (après midi)

24 = il est deux heures quinze. / quatorze heures quinze

3

12 = il est midi et demie /or / il est minuit et demie

24 = il est douze heures trente

4

12 = il est cinq heures moins le quart (matin / soir)

24 = il est quatre heures quarante cinq/ seize heures quarante-cinq

5

12 = il est quatre heures moins cinq (matin/ soir)

24 = il est trois heures quarante-cinq/ quinze heures quarante-cinq

6

12 = il est neuf heures moins dix (matin /soir)

24 = il est huit heures cinquante / vingt heures cinquante

7

12 = il est midi (minuit) cinq (the clock hand is somewhere between 3 and five.... so I made it more simple... but if you prefer you write "trois" instead of "cinq"

midi = noon / minuit = midnight

24 = il est douze heures cinq

8

12 = il est six heures moins cinq (du matin/ après midi)

24 = il est cinq heures cinquante /dix-sept heures cinquante

9

12 = il est neuf heures moins le quart. (du matin/soir)

24 = il est huit heures quarante cinq/ vingt heures quarante cinq

10

12 = il est trois heures (matin ou après midi)

24 = il est quinze heures (après midi)

As a french I found it difficult some how, because nothing is telling us if it's in the morning or afternoon , night....

In fact most of the time in the morning we use the system "12"> from one to midi (noon)

then we switch for the "24" > il est quatorze heures = 2 in the afternoon

if we say "it's vingt heures quarante cinq it means it's 'quarter to nine' (neuf heures moins le quart)

Still hope this helps :)
