Hi Buddhaheart
Buddhaheart(e) The boutique is open from eight in the morning till seven at night.

Fine.

(e) The boutique is open from eight in the morning till seven in the evening.

Which is better, at night or in the evening? Or are both fine?

Many thanks.

Both night and evening are fine. 7 pm can do either way.

I question the comment on "till" and "until" though - I don't find either more appropriate than the other.
