7. am = before noon. It's 7 am. = It's 7 in the morning.
8. pm = after noon. It's 7 pm. = It's 7 in the evening.
9. How to tell time
The easy way: number of complete hours + number of minutes 7 hours +11 minutes = 7:11
(Do not say 7 hours :11 minutes. Say the numbers only: 7:11)
The hard way: number of minutes + a word + the number of hours
11 past 7 OR 11 after 7 = 7:11
Say past or after when the minute hand points between 0 and 30 minutes. Say to, of, till, until, or before when the minute hand points between 30 and 60 minutes.
