Let’s go through each question one by one and figure out whether to write A.M. or P.M.

---

Question 1:
“My friend told me that we will go home at 3:00 in the afternoon.”
→ “Afternoon” means after noon, so it’s P.M.
Answer: 3:00 P.M.

---

Question 2:
“I went outside to see the full moon at 11:00.”
→ The moon is usually seen at night. 11:00 at night is P.M. (since 11 A.M. is morning).
Answer: 11:00 P.M.

---

Question 3:
“There was a strong thunderstorm yesterday night which started at 2:00 and lasted for 5 hours.”
→ It says “yesterday night”, so 2:00 must be at night → P.M.
(2:00 A.M. would be very early morning, not typically called “night” in this context — but even if ambiguous, “night” here clearly points to P.M.)
Answer: 2:00 P.M.

Wait — let’s double-check: If it started at 2:00 and lasted 5 hours, it ended at 7:00. If it’s “yesterday night”, starting at 2:00 A.M. would mean it ended at 7:00 A.M. — still nighttime-ish. But the phrase “yesterday night” usually refers to the evening/night before today — like 8 P.M. to midnight. However, 2:00 A.M. is technically part of “the night”. But in common usage for kids’ worksheets, “night” with 2:00 likely means 2:00 A.M.? Hmm.

Actually, let’s think again: In most school contexts, when they say “at 2:00” and mention “night”, they mean 2:00 A.M. — because 2:00 P.M. is afternoon! That’s a key point.

So:
- 2:00 P.M. = afternoon
- 2:00 A.M. = early morning / night

The sentence says: “yesterday night which started at 2:00” — so if it’s night, and it’s 2:00, it must be A.M. (because 2:00 P.M. is not night).

This is tricky. Let me re-read:
> “There was a strong thunderstorm yesterday night which started at 2:00...”

In everyday language, people might say “last night” to include early morning hours like 2 A.M. So 2:00 A.M. is correct.

But wait — the worksheet is for young students. They probably expect:

- Afternoon → P.M.
- Night → A.M. (if time is small like 2, 3) or P.M. (if time is like 8, 9, 10)

Actually, standard rule:
- 12:00 A.M. to 11:59 A.M. = morning (until noon)
- 12:00 P.M. to 11:59 P.M. = afternoon/evening/night

So 2:00 A.M. is early morning — but still “night” in casual speech.
2:00 P.M. is definitely afternoon.

Since it says “yesterday night”, and 2:00 is written without AM/PM, we have to infer from context.

In educational materials for kids, when they say “at 2:00” and “night”, they almost always mean 2:00 A.M. — because 2:00 P.M. is too bright for “night”.

So I think the intended answer is A.M.

But let’s check other questions for pattern.

---

Question 4:
“I have booked an appointment with my doctor at 3:00 after lunch tomorrow.”
→ After lunch = afternoon → P.M.
Answer: 3:00 P.M.

---

Question 5:
“Jimmy started doing his homework at 6:00 in the evening.”
→ Evening = after sunset → P.M.
Answer: 6:00 P.M.

---

Question 6:
“I went for grocery shopping right after having my breakfast at 9:30 at the clock when I left home.”
→ Breakfast is in the morning → A.M.
Answer: 9:30 A.M.

---

Now back to Question 3:
If we look at all others:

- Q1: afternoon → P.M.
- Q2: moon at 11:00 → night → P.M. (11 P.M. is late night)
- Q3: thunderstorm at 2:00 “yesterday night” → if 2:00 A.M., it’s still night; if 2:00 P.M., it’s afternoon — contradiction. So must be A.M.
- Q4: after lunch → P.M.
- Q5: evening → P.M.
- Q6: breakfast → A.M.

So Q3 should be A.M.

But let’s confirm with logic:
Thunderstorms can happen at night. 2:00 A.M. is common for storms. 2:00 P.M. is afternoon — not “night”. So yes, A.M.

Final answers:

1) 3:00 P.M.
2) 11:00 P.M.
3) 2:00 A.M.
4) 3:00 P.M.
5) 6:00 P.M.
6) 9:30 A.M.

Wait — I think I made a mistake on Q2.

Q2: “I went outside to see the full moon at 11:00.”

Full moons are visible at night. 11:00 A.M. is daytime — you wouldn’t go out to see the moon then. 11:00 P.M. is night — perfect. So P.M. is correct.

Q3: “yesterday night which started at 2:00” — if it’s 2:00 A.M., that’s still “last night” in common parlance. And 2:00 P.M. is not night. So A.M. is correct.

Yes.

Final Answer:
1) 3:00 P.M.
2) 11:00 P.M.
3) 2:00 A.M.
4) 3:00 P.M.
5) 6:00 P.M.
6) 9:30 A.M.
