Structure of times (basic)
To say o'clock times in Chinese, use the number followed by 点 (diǎn), meaning "o'clock". Time words like 上午 (morning) or 明天 (tomorrow) come before the number, and you can also add the full date in advance.
Structure
(Time Word +) Number + 点
点钟 is an alternative but the short form is sufficient.
