A new day begins at midnight and lasts until the next midnight.
Midnight is the middle of the night; that is, 12 o’clock at night.
Noon is the middle of the day, that is, 12 o’clock in day time.
One hour after noon is 1 o’clock, 2 hours after is 2 o’clock, etc.
If a person says he was at a certain place at 2 o’clock, he must say forenoon or afternoon, so we will know which half of the day he means. If it was 2 o’clock in the morning he would write 2 A.M., and if 2 o’clock in the afternoon, 2 P.M.
