Question

In English explain how the French use the 24 hour clock

Answer 1

They don't use traditional U.S. time. Instead, they use what would be known as "Military Time". Anything after 12 P.M. would not be 1 P.M., 2 P.M., etc. It would be 13:00, 14:00, 15:00, etc. One way you can find out P.M. time from the 24 hour clock is by subtracting 12 from the time. For example, 23:00. Subtract 12, that would give you 11. That means it's 11:00 PM. An example on how to say the time in french: Il est midi. Meaning, it is noon/midday.

Answer 2

The French use the 24 hour clock (Military time). After it reaches 12 P.M it wouldn't go to 1 P.M, but to 13 P.M. For example, one in the morning would be Une heure du matin.
