12 o’clock noon is PM, not AM, it’s like when your favorite cartoon starts right after lunch.
Imagine you have a clock on your wall. In the morning, before you eat breakfast, it shows AM, that stands for Ante Meridiem, which means "before midday." It's like saying, “I'm still waiting for my snack time!”
But when you finish eating lunch and it’s exactly 12 o’clock on the clock, that's PM, Post Meridiem, or "after midday." Think of it like this: your favorite cartoon starts right after you eat your sandwich. That's noon, and it's definitely PM time.
How to tell AM from PM
- If it’s early in the day, like when you wake up or have breakfast, that's AM.
- If it’s later in the day, like after lunch or when you're playing outside, that's PM.
So next time you see 12:00 on the clock, remember, if it’s after your sandwich, it's PM, and that means it's time for fun!12 o’clock noon is PM, not AM, it’s like when your favorite cartoon starts right after lunch.
