Selected answer:AM vs PM
Explanation:
Maybe you would like to post your question in the forum. Here's a quick hint:
Midnight = 12 AM
Noon = 12 PM

11:59 before noon = 11:59 AM
11:59 before midnight = 11:59 PM

The rest, from midnight to mid-day (noon) all as AM; if after noon time to just before midnight then all as PM

Explanation:
السؤال عن تقسيم اليوم بالعربية وليس بالانكليزية. نعم أعتقد أن تقسيمك صحيح من حيث تسمية الفترات الزمنية ، مع الانتباه إلى أن امتداد الفترة كالعصر/المغرب قد يختلف بين الصيف و الشتاء.و تجاوزاً قد يستخدم الأسلوب الغربي وهو ص/م أي صباحا/مساءً
