Time

There are two ways of telling the time; the 12-hour clock and the 24-hour clock.


The 12-hour clock is divided into am (morning) and pm (afternoon), running from 12am (midnight) to 11:59am and then from 12pm (noon) to 11:59pm.


The 24-hour clock uses the numbers 00:00 (midnight) to 23:59.


time-12hr-24hr

Examples:
1am = 01:00
4:39am = 04:39
5:59pm = 17:59


There are two types of clock, Analogue and Digital.

Analogue clocks are circular-faced with the number on to twelve around and outside and have two hands.

Digital clocks have a display that displays numbers to show to time.
