Il est sept heures et demie du soir

Bonjour,

Why "Il est sept heures et demie du soir." is right (in the test)?

Like Debra said below: When using the 24-hour clock (13h, 14h, ...), you don't use et quart, et demie, moins le quart.

But it is 7:30 pm... and it uses with et demie... Why?

Merci beaucoup!

un crayonIn the back to school exercise a pencil is translated as un crayon a papier. When I was at school 80 years ago, un crayon always meant a pencil. Would un crayon no longer be understood to mean a pencil when placed in une trousse ?

Nouvel vs nouveau

Why is it "je suis nouveau ici" instead of "je suis nouvel ici"? I thought it was nouvel before a vowel.

Statement about collective nouns in EnglishCollective nouns, such as family, team, and company are singular. The pronoun that would refer to these particular nouns is "it." A speaker may change to "they" but the speakers would be referring to family members, players, or employees. One would right, "A spokesperson for the company announced that it is profitable."
