12-hour and 24-hour time

Rule

From 1 p.m. to 11:59 p.m.: add 12 to the hour: 3 p.m. → 15:00. From 13:00 to 23:59: subtract 12: 18:45 → 6:45 p.m.

Watch out

Watch out at 12 o’clock: 12:30 p.m. stays 12:30, and 12:30 a.m. becomes 00:30.

a.m. = before noon (vm. in Afrikaans); p.m. = after noon (nm.).

Tap when you could tell someone without looking.

Memory trick

Noon is 12:00, midnight is 00:00; from 1 p.m. on, add 12.
