Il est sept heures et demie du soir

Bonjour,

Why "Il est sept heures et demie du soir." is right (in the test)?

Like Debra said below: When using the 24-hour clock (13h, 14h, ...), you don't use et quart, et demie, moins le quart.

But it is 7:30 pm... and it uses with et demie... Why?

Merci beaucoup!

Using ‘aller’ for imperative with reflexive verbsBonsoir, The lesson indicated that when we use ‘aller’ for an imperative with a reflexive verb we should use the infinitive form of the verb as in: Allez, vous habiller! So the answer provided for the corresponding question should have been: Allez, vous embrasser! Instead, it was : Allez, embrassez-vous! Can you please explain why? Thanks!
