1. The 12-hour-system in English


In English there is no 24-hour-system (sometimes it is used on TV and in timetables).

15:00 is 3 o'clock (p.m.) (on TV: fifteenhundred). That's why you use a.m. (Latin: ante
meridiem) and p.m. (post meridiem) in situations where it is necessary to point out that
you want to say in the morning or in the evening. In other situations (or when it is clear
that school starts in the morning and the party in the evening) it is left out.
