In German there are two ways of telling the time: the 12-hour clock and the 24-hour clock. In normal daily situations, the 12-hour clock is almost always used.

Full hours:

• Just use the numbers from one to 12.
• You can use the word Uhr, but you can also leave it out:

To make it clear that you are talking about, for example, eight o'clock in the morning or evening, you can use an additional adverb. In this case, always use the word Uhr.

Half hours:

• When you are speaking about half hours, give the next full hour minus half an hour.
• Do not use the word Uhr.
