Use heure in between the hour and the minutes when telling the time, e.g., Il est cinq heures dix Note that there is no "a.m." or "p.m." in French. Use du matin, de l'après midi, and du soir to disambiguate a given time. " Il est sept heures du soir" makes it clear that it is 7 o'clock at night, and not in the morning. Alternatively, you could use the 24-hour system: " Il est dix-neuf heures" has no ambiguity; time is often expressed in this fashion, particularly in professional/commercial settings.

Midi and minuit can be used without an article when telling the time: " Il est midi. " (It is noon.) English - French Dictionary
