12.00am means midnight?
I've seen this several times and it's starting to piss me off. I'm from Spain and we don't generally use am/pm, but when we do, we refer to midnight as 00.00 and midday as 12.00, and both count as "am". The "pm" starts at 13.00, when we start counting from 1 again (1pm). I just saw a train ticket that said 12.01am - 2.15am and was confused for a second. 12am to me is midday!! Because pm begins at 13!! Does this happen in every English-speaking country?
Can someone tell me what's the name of this object in english?

Did this student write “sung” or “sang”?
I am not sure whether that is “sung” or “sang”. Any ideas?
I request you people to please dissect what the underlined sentence mean word-for-word.
The sentence sounds somewhat ungrammatical to me. It's a screenshot from some periodical discussing why Trump purposefully chose different date than 1st April for imposing reciprocal tariffs on other countries. I understand that *that's what that's not* means his serious enforcement of tariffs shouldn't lose an effect due to it sharing the day with April Fool's Day. Furthermore, is it correct to put *was* in the underlined sentence to indicate a day that will come in future. Will the natives please shed some light why the underlined sentence is correct? Also, the following is a doubt that only political news buff can help solve. How would've the US lost money just by rolling out the tariffs on the April Fool's Day which the unclear marked part suggests if I'm not wrong? Thanks as always!
Is the sentence "I'll never forget the time when we spent together" correct?
Me and my English teacher are feuding over this and I feel like it's incorrect or at least awkward due to the "when" in there, which he insists is correct.
Should I actually not put subtitles when I watch something?
I’ve seen so many english teacher online says about subtitles being not helpful when it comes to learning english in general. but for me I still find it difficult to understand everything what they say without subs. so I was wondering if i should stick with watching movies or youtube without subs even tho I don’t know whats happening in it or you think subs still have benefits in terms of listening comprehension
What does the highlighted word mean here ?
