Bonjour,

après avoir fait plusieurs fois l'exercice N° 17620 sur les articles avec les moments de la journée, je bloque sur la 3ème question à chaque fois. Pouvez-vous m'aider s'il vous plaît?
Merci pour vos réponses.

Bonjour,
d'habitude, j'emploie "in the morning" par exemple pour l'heure de minuit à 11h59
in the afternoon de midi à 17h59,
in the evening de 18h à 21h59
et at night de 22h à minuit.
What do you usually do at night?

Au départ, j'aurais trouvé vos trois propositions fausses, la 2 et la 3 à coup sûr mais en faisant le parallèle avec "at night", "at morning" sera en effet une réponse juste. Je l'entends peu souvent cependant et je ne l'emploierais pas spontanément.

Personnellement j'utilise toujours : in the morning.

Hello.

While there is no official time of separation between "evening" and "night", I personally would never say "evening" after 9pm. (Perhaps this is because, where I live, the sun is always down before 9, and only near the summer solstice is it even light at 9.)

Exception: when greeting someone, you should always say "good evening" instead of "good night".

See you.

Hello ! I agree with all that was written ... (almost!) I've never heard 'at morning(s)', and will never say it ! .
Now, gerondif, I'd like to know why, supposing it had been 'in the mornings', you discarded sentence 3. I would have prefered it to sentence 1, because of 'often' ...

Hello, here4u
Would you now ?
At night being singular, at mornings sounded wrong to me, although with "often" it would have sounded logical albeit clumsy (aren't you glad I reintroduced albeit into your mind ?). As I said the three solutions sounded wrong to me anyway, or highly unusual even if one is considered right.
