Yes! Here’s a simple mnemonic to remember AM and PM:
AM = “After Midnight”
Think of AM as the time after midnight (from 12:00 midnight to just before noon).
PM = “Post Meridian” (which actually means “after midday”)
Think of PM as the time after midday (from 12:00 noon to just before midnight).
Alternatively:
“AM = Awake Morning” (you wake up in the morning)
“PM = Past Midday”
This helps keep the distinction clear: AM is morning hours, PM is afternoon and evening hours.
