✦Grammar Breakdown

MeineletzteStundeendetum15Uhr.

1

Possessive adjective (Meine)

‘Meine’ is the feminine nominative form of the possessive adjective for ‘mein’, matching the gender and case of ‘Stunde’.

2

Attributive adjective (letzte)

‘Letzte’ follows a possessive adjective, so it takes the weak declension ending ‘-e’ in the nominative feminine singular.

3

Noun gender (Stunde)

‘Stunde’ is a feminine noun; in the subject position it appears in the nominative case.

4

Verb conjugation (endet)

‘Endet’ is the 3rd‑person singular present tense of ‘enden’ (to end).

5

Time preposition (um)

‘Um’ introduces a specific point in time and governs the accusative; the following time expression does not change form.

6

Time expression (15 Uhr)

In German the 24‑hour clock is standard; the number is spoken as a cardinal (fünfzehn) followed by ‘Uhr’.

✕Common Mistakes

  • Mein letzte Stunde endet um 15 Uhr.

    ‘Stunde’ is feminine, so the possessive adjective must be ‘meine’, not ‘mein’.

  • Meine letzte Stunde endet bei 15 Uhr.

    ‘Bei’ is used for location, not for a specific point in time; use ‘um’.

  • Meine letzte Stunde ist um 15 Uhr.

    ‘Ist’ means ‘is’; the verb needed is ‘endet’ (ends).

  • Meine letzte Stunde endet um 15:00 Uhr.

    While understandable, the standard spoken form drops the colon; say ‘fünfzehn Uhr’.

Cultural Tip

German schools and many workplaces use the 24‑hour clock, so ‘15 Uhr’ is preferred over ‘3 p.m.’. The word ‘Stunde’ can refer to a school period, a lecture, or any hour‑long session, depending on context. In informal speech you might also hear ‘um drei Uhr’ (using the 12‑hour clock) but the 24‑hour format sounds more precise and is common in written schedules.
