1. Words or Numerals?

You can write the time of day using either words or numerals. If you are using numerals, you would usually include both hours and minutes, although you can omit the minutes in less formal writing.

For instance, all the following would be acceptable:

She gets up at six in the morning every day.

She gets up at 6:00 in the morning every day.

She gets up at 6 o’clock in the morning every day.

As a rule, though, you would only write out the time as words when:

It is part of a full sentence, particularly in descriptive or literary writing.

Using a 12-hour clock (never with a 24-hour clock).

You’re referring to an approximate or round time (e.g., saying “ten thirty” is fine, but you would not usually write “twenty-four minutes after eight”).

In most other cases, numerals are the clearer option for writing the time, especially in scientific and technical writing, where precision is vital.

2. AM and PM

The abbreviations AM and PM can be used when writing the time as numerals. Each applies to a different time of day:

AM is short for ante meridiem, meaning “before noon.”

PM is short for post meridiem, meaning “after noon.”

As such, we use AM and PM to indicate the time of day when we are using a 12-hour clock. We can see how this works more clearly if we write out various times of day in both 12-hour and 24-hour formats:

Time

12-Hour Clock

24-Hour Clock

Midnight

12:00 AM

00:00

Three in the morning

03:00 AM

03:00

Half past eight in the morning

08:30 AM

08:30

Midday

12:00 PM

12:00

Three in the afternoon

03:00 PM

15:00

Half past eight in the evening

08:30 PM

20:30

You can see here that we need AM and PM with the twelve-hour clock for clarity. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between, e.g., midday and midnight. Likewise, though, you do not need to include AM or PM with a 24-hour time because it is already clear.

There are also several ways to write AM and PM, including:

ALL CAPS, small caps, or lower case (e.g., 12 AM, 12 AM, or 12 am)

With or without periods between the letters (e.g., 8 PM or 8 P.M.)

With or without a space after the number (e.g., 1 AM or 1AM)

Consistency is key here, so make sure to apply one style throughout your document. You may also want to check your style guide if you have one, as some organizations will have their own rules for how to write AM and PM.

3. When to Use O’clock

You’ll have noticed we use “o’clock” in one of the examples above. This term means “of the clock,” so we can use it to show that a number refers to a time.

However, you should only use “o’clock” with exact hours:

It is precisely 5 o’clock. ✔

I’m leaving at seven o’clock. ✔

It arrived at 7:34 o’clock. ✘

The gig starts at half past seven o’clock. ✘

We’ll save a discussion of when wine o’clock is for another blog post.

4. Past, After, Till, and To

When writing the time as words, use “after,” “past,” and “to” for intervals between hours. You can combine these terms with either numbers or the words “half” and “quarter” depending on the time in question:

Use after or past for intervals up to half an hour past the hour.

Use to for any interval after the half hour up to the hour.

Use half past to indicate 30 minutes past the hour.

Use quarter past or quarter after for 15 minutes after the hour.

Use quarter to for 15 minutes up to the hour.

For example, we would use the above accordingly in the following times:

7:05 → Five after seven

7:15 → Quarter past seven

7:30 → Half past seven

7:45 → Quarter to eight

7:55 → Five to eight

Keep in mind that using “after” for times is only standard in American English. In other English dialects, “past” is far more common.
