FROM MORNING TO EVENING / DU MATIN AU SOIR

Hello everyone! Welcome in another short lesson! Today we will see how to express the different part of a day: Morning, Afternoon and Evening. Let's get started!

Morning = Matin or Matinée

Afternoon = Après-midi 

Evening = Soir or Soirée

Night = Nuit 

Let's see some quick examples:

1) Ce matin j'ai un cours d'Espagnol. / This morning I have a Spanish class. 

2) Appelle-moi plus tard dans la matinée. / Call me later in the morning.

3) Cet après-midi il fait très chaud ! / This afternoon the weather is very hot! 

4) Il y a un spectacle ce soir au théâtre ! / There is a show tonight at the theatre!

5) Je l'ai attendu toute la soirée mais il n'est pas venu. / I have waited all evening but he didn't come.

6) Cette nuit, j'ai mal dormi / Last night, I slept bad. 

For the reminder, please remember:

(Le) or (Un) or (Ce) Matin - masculine   

(La) or (Une) Matinée - feminine

Both mean "morning", but we have two ways of expressing it. A masculine and a feminine way, depending on the context.

(Un) or (Cet) or (L') Après-midi - masculine 

We say "un après-midi" and not "une après-midi", but most of people make the mistake, included French people so don't worry too much about it.

(Un) or (Le) or (Ce) Soir - masculine

(Une) or (La) or (Cette) Soirée - feminine 

(Une) or (La) or (Cette) Nuit - feminine
