Note :- 
1) In English noon is 12 O' clock in day. And time after that is called afternoon. In Gujarati "noon" and "afternoon" together is called as બપોર  (bapor ).

2) When talking about tomorrow and yesterday,  instead of saying આવતી કાલે  (AvatI kAle ) or fully ગઈ કાલે  (gaI kAle ) people just say કાલે(kAle). Context will convey correct meaning. if sentence is in past tense then કાલે(kAle) means yesterday, if it is in future tense then કાલે(kAle) mens tomorrow. 

When these words are to be used with preposition "at" or "on", એ(e) is added to it.
e.e.
Morning -> સવાર  (savAr )
at morning -> સવારે ( savAre )
I will do it at morning -> હું સવારે કરીશ ( huM savAre karIsh )

day -> દિવસ  (divas )

On this auspicious day -> આ શુભ દિવસે  ( A shubh divase  )

એ(e) is NOT added with હમણાં  (hamaNAM), હવે (have)


I am in office now :-  હું અત્યારે ઓફિસમાં છું (huM atyAre ophisamAM ChuM )



We play cricket everyday :- અમે દરરોજ ક્રિકેટ રમીએ છીએ (ame dararoj krikeT ramIe ChIe)

He will come back from school in evening :- એ નિશાળમાંથી સાંજે આવશે (e nishALamAMthI sAMje Avashe)

Telling date in Gujarati
We use English months in day to day conversations. The Indian/Hindu months are used during religious discussions or rituals or specifying "મુહૂર્ત" of marriage etc.
Like in English, we use words first, second, third .. thirty-first to indicate date.
For such words in Gujarati, refer
http://learn-gujarati-from-english.blogspot.com/2014/01/fractional-numbers-sequence-percentage.html
e.g.
What date is it today ? આજે શું તારીખ છે.(
Aje shuM tArIkh Che)
તારીખ is feminine word.
It was 1st July yesterday -> કાલે પહેલી જુલાઈ હતી. (kAle pahelI julAI hatI.)
It is 2nd July today -> આજે બીજી જુલાઈ છે. (Aje bIjI julAI Che.)
It will be 3rd July tomorrow -> આવતી કાલે ત્રીજી જુલાઈ હશે.(
AvatI kAle trIjI julAI hashe)
etc.

But it is also common to say number instead of sequence as if saying one July, two July , three July etc.

કાલે એક જુલાઈ હતી.(kAle ek julAI hatI).
આજે બે જુલાઈ છે.(Aje be julAI Che)

આવતી કાલે તીન જુલાઈ હશે (AvatI kAle tIn julAI hashe)


Time related sentences in Gujarati :-
What time is it -> કેટલા વાગ્યા ( keTalA vAgyA )
It is one o' clock -> એક વાગ્યો  (ek vAgyo)
It is two o' clock -> બે વાગ્યા  (be vAgyA)
it is four o' clock -> ચાર વાગ્યા  (chAr vAgyA)

For 15 minutes, 30 minutes and 45 minutes past an hour; we use corresponding word in Gujarati. e.g. 
Two and half in Gujarati is અઢી(aDhI), so 
It is two thirty -> અઢી વાગ્યા (aDhI vAgyA )

One and half in Gujarati is દોઢ(doDh), so 
It is One thirty -> દોઢ વાગ્યો  (doDh vAgyo )

Quarter to two is પોના બે (ponA be)
It is quarter to two -> પોના બે વાગ્યા (ponA be vAgyA ) 

For other minutes we use વાગીને(vAgIne) as follows :- 
It is eleven forty -> અગિયાર વાગીને ચાલીસ થઈ ગયા (agiyAr vAgIne chAlIs thaI gayA )
It is nine thirty five -> નવ વાગીને પાંત્રીસ થઈ ગયા ( nav vAgIne pAMtrIs thaI gayA )


For 1 O'clock and 1.30; verb form is વાગ્યો  (vAgyo) as it is singular. For 2 and on wards it is વાગ્યા(vAgyA). 

When saying "at particular time" it is વાગે (vAge)
At one o' clock -> એક વાગે (ek vAge )
At two o' clock -> બે વાગે (be vAge )
At One thirty -> દોઢ વાગે (doDh vAge )
Program is at quarter to two -> કાર્યક્રમ પોના બે વાગે છે  (kAryakram  ponA be vAge છે ) 
He will come at four o' clock -> એ ચાર વાગે આવશે  (e chAr vAge Avashe)
Program is at 2 o' clock in afternoon -> કાર્યક્રમ બપોરે બે વાગે છે  (kAryakram bapore be vAge Che)
