Useful Expressions to Tell the Time

Here you have some useful expressions to tell the time:

Night and Day

There are 24 hours in a day. The day is divided into day andnight. Daytime is from sunrise (approximately at 6am) to sunset(approximately at 6pm). Night-time is from sunset to sunrise.

Every day starts precisely at midnight. AM (Ante-Meridiem = before noon) starts just after midnight. PM (Post-Meridiem=after noon) starts just after midday. This means that 12am and 12pm have no meaning.

This diagram shows the cycle of a 24-hour day and the words we use to describe its parts. The day starts at midnight.

To refer to these parts of the day, we use different prepositions:

In the morning.	6,00 AM – 12,00 PM
In the afternoon.	12,00 PM – 6,00 PM
In the evening.	6,00 PM – 12,00 AM
At night.	12,00 AM – 6,00 AM
