• Usamos A.M. para o período da manhã (de 00:00 a 11:00)
• Usamos P.M. para o período da tarde/noite (de 12:00 a 23:00)
• Nós usamos o’clock quando o horário está exato: 3:00 (three o’clock)
• Em inglês, usamos sempre o relógio de 12 horas (e não 24h, como no Brasil) – portanto, as 15:00 dizemos it’s three o’clock (ou it’s three P.M.) e nunca “it’s fifteen o’clock).
