When to say good morning ...

http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=287453



Hi there!

Since I have to give a presentation, I was wondering whether any of you could give me some clear guidelines on how to determine when to say "Good morning / afternoon / evening / night everyone", i.e. what time each one begins and ends. I suppose (an hope) I won't have to use "night" at all. Here's my assumption:

Good morning:5 AM to 12 PM or 00:00 to 24:00
Good afternoon: 12 PM to 6 PM (?)
Good evening:6 PM to 10 PM
Good night: 10 PM onwards (or when you go to sleep, in fact ,or say goodbye for the rest of the day)

Good morning:5 AM (if the presentation starts at 5:00 A.m. However, if you meet someone at 2:00 A.M. to go fishing, it's still "Good Morning") to 12 PM or 00:00 to 24:00 (5:00 A.M. is 0500)
Good afternoon: 12 PM to 6 PM (?)
Good evening:6 PM to 10 PM (upon meeting someone up until 11:59 P.M)
Good night: 10 PM onwards (only upon parting for the evening) (or when you go to sleep, in fact ,or say goodbye for the rest of the day)


Thank you!!!

Hello everyone,

I have read some articles about Greeting and to be honest, I am confused about the usages of these expressions.

One source says the following:

12:00 PM - 8:00 PM --> AFTERNOON
8:00 PM - 4:00 AM --> EVENING
4:00AM - 12:00PM --> MORNING

that means the day has been divided into 3 parts (8 hours each) !!

Another source suggets the follwoing:

EARLY MORNING -----------> 12:01 am - 5:59 am
MORNING -----------------> 6:00 am - 11:59 am
NOON --------------------> 12:00
AFTERNOON --------------> 12:01 pm - 5:59 pm
EVENING -----------------> 6:00 pm - 7:59 pm
NIGHT -------------------> 8:00 pm - 11:59 pm
MIDNIGHT ---------------> 12:00
