"Is it two o'clock?"

Translation: 二時ですか？

[Calvin179]

Does the ka at the end imply that it is a question, or is it something else?

[Stephen654875]

Correct, without it, it would mean "It is 2 o'clock" as opposed to "is it 2 o'clock?"

[DITHERMORE]

It is basically a question mark

I wrote "今は二時ですか"
Why is it incorrect ???

[Izuku_5747]

I think that　今は二次ですか　means what time is it now while 二時ですか？ is just what time is it. Duolingo is usually strict with this even if it is the same thing.

It's the difference between the kanji (二) and katakana (ニ). They look extremely similar and it can be difficult to tell which one you are inputting if you're using a romaji predictor system (as they are both "ni"). Honestly, they should just accept both.

Just tried the modern Japanese way 2時ですか, and it worked here. Younger Japanese don't use kanji for numbers as often as they used to before the 80's.
