What's your point? (Make, part 6)

When we're explaining an idea or arguing for an opinion, we're making a point. For example, "the point I'm trying to make is that we need to plan our presentations further ahead of time." The point is the main or primary idea. We can see someone's point or not. We can say, "I don't see your point," or "I don't get your point." The point is also the reason for doing something. If something is pointless, it means that we don't see the point of it. Then we can ask, "what is the point of this?"
