🇬🇧 A.m. meaning: English Vocabulary Flash Card

“a.m.” is used when we talk about times in the morning, from right after midnight (12:00 at night) until just before lunchtime (11:59). If a clock says a time and it has “a.m.” after it, it means it is morning time, not afternoon or night. For example, 7:00 a.m. is when many people wake up, and 1:00 a.m. is very, very late at night when most people are asleep.
