In one quiz (Kwiz) I was asked to translate "five thirty AM" I wrote "cinq heures trente" assuming the 24 hour clock. This was apparently wrong because apparently we were talking about a 12 hour clock.
In the very next quiz (Kwiz) I was asked to translate "ten minutes to seven AM" so I wrote "sept heures moins dix du matin" which was also wrong because we were now apparently talking about the 24 hour clock (not apparently for any other reason).
Would it be possible to tell us whether we were talking about 12 or 24 hours on the clock?
My natural presumption is for 24 unless otherwise specified.
"alors il va préparer l'entré", aint it should be "elle" not "il" referring to her mom ?
Does it make any sense to ask why "Hanoucca" doesn't use a definite article in order to ease the pronunciation? Is it because the "H" is an "H aspiré"?
If you were to say something such as "after eating, I will go for a walk," are you required to use the anterior future and repeat "je" twice, or is it somehow possible to incorporate an infinitive like this (Être allé manger, perhaps?).
I'm confused about this. Aren't they the same thing?
