Days of the week, the clock, birthdays, sentence 2

Clock time uses diǎn, "dot": "jǐ diǎn le?" is "what time is it?", "sān diǎn bàn" is half past three; but when Lín's mum says "jǐ diǎn le?" at the door with her arms crossed, it means "you're late!".

Who acts: Clock time, le, mum, it, you · What happens: use, jǐ, be, say, cross, mean · To what, where: diǎn, diǎn le, le, door, arms · Speech: someone speaks here
