4 B. School Timetable Days of the week Les jours de la semaine Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday lundi mardi mercredi jeudi vendredi samedi dimanche If you want to say when you have a class in a certain subject or what day you do different activities, you cannot translate on (on Monday I have French). You don t need to say it at all! On Monday I have French Lundi, j ai français When you want to say that you do an activity or lesson every week on the same day, in English you would say On Tuesdays I have Spanish, but in French you have to say literally; the Tuesday (le mardi) which implies you do that activity every week on a Tuesday. The time In France, they often use the 24 hour clock. This means that instead of starting at 1pm after 12 noon, they continue counting up. So 13h=1PM, 14h=2PM etc. 4
