French Ways of Telling Time
24-clock
•There are a few instances where the French use a different system to English speakers.
•First one is the use of the 24-hour clock (this is also called military time).
•Basically, this makes it so you do not have to use AM and PM.
•To use this system all of the hours between 1am and 11am, 12pm are the same as the English system.
•However, for the hours 1pm through 11pm you must add twelve hours.
•For example: 1pm becomes 13h and 6pm becomes 18h.
