What is AM (ante meridiem)?

AM stands for ante meridiem, which means “before noon”, like morning time!

Imagine you have a special clock that tells you when to wake up and when it's time for breakfast, play, or even nap. AM is the part of the day when the sun is just starting to rise, and you're probably still in your pajamas.

Think about your morning routine:

1. You wake up at 7 AM, that’s seven o’clock in the morning.
2. You have breakfast at 8 AM, maybe with a cartoon on TV.
3. School starts at 9 AM, and you're ready to learn new things.

AM is like your body's reminder: “It’s time to start the day!”

If you ever see a clock or a calendar that says 10 AM, it means it's 10 o’clock in the morning, just like when you’re halfway through your breakfast and ready for some fun! AM stands for ante meridiem, which means “before noon”, like morning time!
