Telling time in French is just a matter of understanding the French numbers and a handful of formulas and rules.
The French word for "time," as in "what time is it?" is l'heure, not le temps. The latter indicates time as in "I spent a good deal of time there."

In English, we typically go away out "o'clock" - it's properly wonderful to say "It's seven" or "I'm leaving at 3-thirty." Not so in French - you often have to say heure (besides with midi and minuit).

In French, the hour and minute are separated by h (for heure) exactly where in English we use a colon :

French doesn't have words for "a.m." and "p.m." You can use du matin for a.m., de l'après-midi from midday until eventually about six p.m., and du soir from six p.m. until finally midnight, but time is normally expressed on a 24-hour clock. Thus three p.m. is usually expressed as quinze heures or 15h00, but you can also say trois heures de l'après-midi.
