AM and PM full form and meaning

AM and PM full form in English: When you talk about time, you often see the letters "AM" or "PM" next to the time. Ever wondered what these letters actually mean? Let's uncover the mystery behind these two little abbreviations.

AM stands for "ante meridiem" in Latin, which translates to "before midday" or "before noon" in English. So when you see "AM" on a clock, it means the time is in the morning, before the clock strikes 12:00 pm (noon). For example, 7:00 am  is seven o'clock in the morning.

PM stands for "post meridiem" in Latin, which means "after midday" or "after noon" in English. Therefore, when you see "PM" on a clock, it indicates that the time is in the afternoon or evening, after 12:00 pm (noon). For instance, 7:00 pm is seven o'clock in the evening.

Understanding the difference between AM and PM is crucial for interpreting time correctly. It helps us distinguish between morning hours and afternoon/evening hours, ensuring clarity in communication and scheduling.

In summary, AM refers to the time before noon, while PM refers to the time after noon.
