B

Common Mistakes

  • Sì, è confermato a le 14.

    The preposition *per* is used to indicate the scheduled time, not *a*.

  • Sì, sono confermato per le 14.

    The verb *essere* must agree with the subject (the appointment), which is third‑person singular, so *è* is correct.

  • Sì, è confermato per le 2.

    When you keep the 24‑hour format, use *le 14*; *le 2* is the 12‑hour version and can sound informal in a business email.

Alternatives

  • Sì, è fissato per le 14.

    Yes, it’s set for 2 p.m.

  • Confermo per le 14.

    I confirm for 2 p.m.

  • Sì, ci vediamo alle 14.

    Yes, we’ll meet at 2 p.m.

Cultural Tip

In Italy the 24‑hour clock is the norm for written schedules, public transport timetables and business communications. When speaking, you’ll often hear the hour preceded by the article *le* (e.g., *le 14*). In casual conversation people may switch to the 12‑hour clock and say *le due* (2 p.m.), but *le 14* sounds more professional and is preferred in formal settings.
