Time of day & expressions Flashcards
To express time, we use the demonstrative pronoun "hadi" and the appropriate number with the definite article. This means that for 1:00, 5:00, 10:00, and 11:00, we will use the letter "l-" (ل) before the number, while for the others, we will double the first consonant. (57 cards)
