2) to indicate the time at which an event takes place

ごご十一時に終わります。(gogo juuichi-ji ni owarimasu.)
It will end at 11PM.
Note: For approximation of time reference, subsitute に (ni) with ごろ (goro) or ごろに (goro ni)
ごご十一時ごろに終わります。(gogo juuichi-ji goro ni owarimasu.)
It will end around 11PM.
Note: there are several restrictions in using に as a time reference, which we will investigate in later chapters.
