À quelle heure ?

I get up at seven o'clock. / School starts at half past eight.
Je me lève à sept heures. / L'école commence à huit heures et demie.

Les Anglais utilisent souvent am (le matin) et pm (l'après-midi et le soir) : 8 pm = 20 h.

Mise en situation : le matin

Réveille-toi, Noah ! Il est sept heures !

À huit heures et demie. Dépêche-toi !
Noah : OK! What time is it now?
D'accord ! Il est quelle heure maintenant ?
Mum : It's quarter past seven!
Il est sept heures et quart !
