Translating the word ‘time’ is iffy. My tip to learn this list: take five a day to memorize and use it either orally or in writing at least once today. And do the practice exercise below.
Quelle heure est-il ?
- all in good time .... chaque chose en son temps
- all the time .... tout le temps
- as time goes by .... avec le temps (qui passe)
- at all times .... à tous moments
- at this time .... là, en ce moment
- at times .... par moments
- before my time .... je n’étais pas encore né/e
- every time .... à chaque fois
- first time .... première fois
- flight time .... durée du vol/voyage
- for some time .... ça fait un moment
- ...
Practice
To practice your knowledge of ‘it makes’ in a sentence, hide either one of the two languages, and translate into the other language. French to English is easier than English to French.
| Je fais du français sept fois par semaine. | I study French seven times a week. |
| Tu as lu ce live une seule fois ? | Did you read this book only once. |
| À l’époque de Voltaire, on ne twittait pas. | In Voltaire’s time, one didn’t tweet. |
| Neuf fois sur dix, elle n’arrive pas à conjuguer le subjonctif. | Nine times out of ten, she can’t conjugate the subjunctive mode. |
This is all the information that I’m going to cover in this worksheet. But I do encourage you to check out my Premium worksheet which will go into more detail.
