Clocks measure time.

Showing the Time

There are two main ways to show the time: "24 Hour Clock" or "AM/PM":

AM (Ante meridiem)/PM ( Post meridiem) (or "12 Hour Clock"): the day is split into:

In other words:

From the mid night (12:01 Minute) until fifty nine past eleven : (11:59) A.M. you are going to say:

In the morning.

Example: It`s one O'clock in the morning ( In spite of, It is still dark or night).

Now,from one past twelve ( 12:01 ) P.M. until six O'clock P.M. you are going to say:

In the afternoon.

Example: It's a quater past three in the afternoon! (3:15)

From one past six (6:01) P.m until ten O'clock (10:00) P.M. , you are going to say:

In the evening.

Example: It's ten to nine in the evening. (8:50)

and when the clock goes from one past ten (10:01) P.M. to mid night (12:00) you are going to say:

There are different ways to give the hour in English:

First: When somebody asks you for the hour or time, Probably, She or he is going to use these formal or informal questions:

If the big hand of the clock is over the number twelve and the little one is over the number: one.two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven and even the number twelve.
You will answer:
