Mr. Smith is reminding his son of his curfew time. âDonât forget, Paul, be home by 10:30 p.m.â Describe nonverbal cues that would create a mixed message and convey the idea that Paulâs dad is unsure about the curfew time and wouldnât be upset if Paul came home late.
That means you would have to  be home  by approximately 10 mins early so you'll have to be there BY 10:30 not just 10:30 so you should show up by 10:20pm so you wont be late.
