Explanation:

- A.M. stands for "ante meridiem," meaning before noon. Activities that occur in the morning (e.g., leaving for school, having meetings) are typically in A.M.
- P.M. stands for "post meridiem," meaning after noon. Activities that occur in the afternoon or evening (e.g., soccer games, dinner, watching news) are typically in P.M.

By understanding the context of each scenario, we can determine whether the activity occurs in the morning (A.M.) or the afternoon/evening (P.M.).
