A useful situation
- Your goal: Ask the day and time, then agree when to meet.
- Before you start, recall the words you already know. New words below are here to help, not a list you must master before continuing.
Words you will use
- tomorrow明天 míngtiān — tomorrow. I / me我tomorrow明天to go去school学校。
- Wednesday星期三 xīngqīsān — Wednesday. tomorrow明天to be / is是Wednesday星期三。
- what time几点 jǐ diǎn — what time. you你what time几点to go去？
- half半 bàn — half. 三点half半。

Match each word with its meaning in this unit.
Use the example sentences to check each word’s meaning in context.
Build the meaning
- Numbers combine: eleven十一 is 11, twenty二十 is 20, and 二十三 is 23. For clock time, 三点 is 3 o’clock and 三点half半 is 3:30.
- week星期how many / a few几 asks the weekday; what time几点 asks the clock time. A simple time phrase can come before the verb: I / me我tomorrow明天三点to go去school学校。
Wednesday星期三 is a weekday; 三点 is a clock time. Do not answer one question with the other.
Complete “What time are you going?”: 你____去？
几点 asks for clock time.
Listen for a fresh detail
- Listen before revealing the script.
- Replay if you need to. This is practice: if playback is unavailable, use the script as reading and return to listening on a device with Mandarin playback.

Speak, write, and review
- Ask a partner the day and time of a fictional meeting. They suggest Wednesday at four; confirm it.
- Record yourself privately or work with a partner. First try without the model, then compare the meaning and structure; a text checker cannot assess your pronunciation.
A: week星期how many / a few几？what time几点？ B: Wednesday星期三afternoon下午四点。 A: good好，afternoon下午四点to appear见。
- Write a two-line meeting note: the weekday and time, then the place. Change at least one detail from the reading.
- Tomorrow, recall two words and repeat the task with one detail changed. Revisit it after a few days; return sooner to the part that felt difficult.
Ask the day and time, then agree when to meet. Use the examples as support, then try a fresh version. Completing these exercises records practice, not a guarantee of mastery.
