IN THIS LESSON
ID: 2907 Elementary
In this video lesson, we teach you how to arrange to meet someone at a time and place. This is super useful and invaluable for scheduling meetings, dates, and events.
In order to do this, we need to learn the 从... 到... (cóng... dào...) structure. This is used in the same way as "from... to..." in English, and can be used both for times and places. In this lesson, we focus on times, but if you want to learn more about places, we recommend you watch this lesson also.
