Time
You need to know these equivalent times:
1 minute = 60 seconds
1 hour = 60 minutes
1 day = 24 hours
1 week = 7 days
1 fortnight = 14 days
1 year = 12 months = 52 weeks = 365 days
leap year = 366 days
Many timetables and digital watches use the 24-hour clock time.
Use this scale to change between 12-hour and 24-hour time.
6.15 am 0615
6.15 pm 1815
Remember:
am is morning time (it comes from the Latin ante meridian, meaning 'before midday').
pm is afternoon and evening time (it comes from the Latin post meridian, meaning 'after midday').
The 24-hour clock always uses 4 digits
Here is a way to remember how many days there are in each month.
All the 'knuckle' months have 31 days.
February has 28 days (29 in a leap year). April, June, September and November have 30 days.
