when du matin
This question relates to:French lesson "Telling time in French - general 12-hour clock rules"
Asked 2 years ago
When you use the colloquial 12-hour time reference, you need to add du matin or du soir to distinguish, say 9:30 a.m. from 9:30 p.m. When you use the more official 24-hour time, you don't add them.
Since the lesson you link to is about telling time in the 12-hour reference, I guess you're supposed to use that time reference when you answer the questions.
