How do you say 10 minutes past 7 in french?

"10 minutes past 7" in French is "7 heures 10" (pronounced "set err dees").

Here's why:

* 7 heures means "7 o'clock"

* 10 means "10"

* "7 heures 10" literally translates to "7 hours 10".

The French don't use the words "past" or "after" when telling time in this manner.
