Write a message that tells someone when and where to meet you.

The idea

Put に after a specific clock time and で after the place where you meet: 3時に駅で会いましょう. 午前 means a.m., 午後 means p.m., and 半 means half past. Use どうですか to propose a time.

Watch out

A station can have several exits: add a landmark or entrance when needed. 明日 usually stands without に; check the date and whether the time is morning or afternoon.
