Minutes never convert — only the hour does. Any minute works the same way: 2007 is 8:07 PM, 2052 is 8:52 PM. For any other time, the military time converter takes both directions.
Where 2000 shows up
Eight in the evening: 2000 is 8:00 PM. Read it “twenty hundred.” Evening events posted in 24-hour time use this to keep an 8 o'clock start from ever being read as morning.
