Comment lire l'heure ?

Vous saviez lire l'heure mais vous avez oublié quelques notions? Voici un aide-mémoire pour mettre vos connaissances à jours.

 RAPPEL

Les différentes parties de la journée:

in the morning, in the afternoon, at midday, in the evening, at night, at midnight.

a.m. et p.m.

Le découpage de 0 à 24 est peu employé, sinon pour les horaires de transport (train ou avion). On préfère utiliser a.m. (ante meridiem) de 0 à 12 heures, et p.m. (post meridiem) de 12 à 24 heures.

midnight to midday = a.m.

midday to midnight = p.m.

midnight = 12.00 a.m.

midday = 12.00 p.m.

Ex: 17h 15mn =  (a) quarter past five in the afternoon, ou five fifteen p.m.

Que dire, quand on vous demande l'heure?

A l'oral, on emploie o'clock pour désigner l'heure

1.00 = one o'clock      8.00 = eight o'clock

Attention: Jusqu'à la demi-heure, on emploie past, et de la demi-heure à l'heure suivante, on utilise to :

une heure dix = ten past one        deux heures quinze = a quarter past two

cinq heures moins vingt = twenty to five             sept heures moins le quart = a quarter to seven

autres exemples 

une heure douze = twelve minutes past one              sept heures quarante cinq = a quarter to eight

 Comment demander l'heure ?

What's the time?  It's three o'clock

What time is it?   It's ten to eight

Il ne faut pas dire : They are seven o'clock
