Important Notes on Numbers:
1. The numbers 21, 31, 41, 51, etc. are never ______________________ - they are written as
three words: vingt et un, trente et un, etc.
2. All other double-digit numers are __________________________ - cinquante-sept, soixantetrois, etc.
3. There is no separate word for seventy in French. French people say “soixante-dix.”

Writing the Date in French
Practice writing the date in French:
C’est le cinq septembre. (Notice that the day comes before the month. )
C’est quel jour? _________________________________________________________________________
Helpful Hints:
1) September 5 looks like this in English: 9/5 but in French, it looks like this 5/9
because you would say the day first in French.
2) The words for days and months are not _________________________________
in French unless they come at the beginning of a sentence.
Can you write your birthday in French?
Quelle est la date de ton anniversaire? Mon anniversaire est le

Lesson 2.04 L’heure
Quelle heure est-il? What time is it ?
Here are a few important notes about giving the time in French:
 The verb être is used to express time in French. The form of être that you will see in
time expressions is il est (It is).
 In English, we use the expression o'clock for full hours like 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00, etc. In
French, we say heure(s).
o Example: 3:00 → Il est trois heures.
 Add these expressions to specify AM or PM:
o du matin → ________________________________________________ (AM)
o de l'après-midi → ________________________________________________ (PM)
o du soir → ________________________________________________ (PM)
o Example: 4:00 PM → Il est quatre heures de l'après-midi.
 Use the number to say the minutes past the hour.
o Example: 5:10 → Il est cinq heures dix.
 Use ______________________ the same way we'd say a quarter past in English. You can say
the numeral _____________________________ only when using the 24 hour clock.
o Example: 6:15 → Il est six heures et quart.



 or Il est dix-huit heures quinze.
Use et demi(e) the same way we'd say _________________________________
in English. You can say the numeral trente only when using the 24
hour clock. You would use et demi without the e at the end only
with midi and minuit.
o Example: 7:30 → Il est sept heures et demie.
 or Il est dix-neuf heures trente.
When the minutes on the clock are between
_______________________________, use moins (minus). It would be like
saying it is 9 o'clock minus 20 minutes. You can say the numeral quarante only when
using the 24 hour clock.
o Example: 8:40 → Il est neuf heures moins vingt.
 or Il est vingt heures quarante.
Use moins le quart (_______________________________). It would be like saying 10 o'clock
minus the quarter. You can say the numeral quarante-cinq only when using the 24
hour clock.
o Example: 9:45 → Il est dix heures moins le quart.
 or Il est vingt et une heures quarante-cinq.
