Understanding AM and PM Time

The video tutorial explains how to tell time using a.m. and p.m. It describes the 24-hour day divided into two 12-hour parts: a.m. (midnight to noon) and p.m. (noon to midnight). The terms a.m. and p.m. originate from Latin phrases meaning 'before noon' and 'after midday,' respectively. The video provides examples to clarify the use of a.m. and p.m., such as morning alarms and evening activities.
