BREAKFAST
The first meal of the day. Usually around 6am-9am.

LUNCH
A meal in the middle of the day. Usually around noon or 1 pm.
TEA
A light afternoon meal of sandwiches, cakes etc, with a drink of tea. Around 4pm. It is also sometimes called AFTERNOON TEA. (mainly BrE). TEA can also refer to a cooked evening meal, around 6pm. (BrE)
SUPPER
A light or informal evening meal. Around 6pm-7pm.
DINNER
The main meal of the day, eaten either in the middle of the day or in the evening. Usually when people say "dinner", they mean an evening meal, around 7pm-9pm.
