Vers vs autour

tay S.B1Kwiziq community member

To say around (something) o'clock you would use vers rather than autour? Why?

Hi Tay,

The short answer is no, for times you will use 'vers'.

Il est arrivé vers 15 h = He arrived at around 3 pm

Il a fait son jogging autour du lac ce matin = He did his jogging around the lake this morning.

Bonne Continuation !
