In a 4/4 measure it would be 3 beats. =)
in common time (4:4), a half note gets 2 beats.

It extends the note for exactly half its value. For example, a dotted half note is worth three beats. Half of a half note is one beat, add that on to the two beats a half note is already worth, and there you have it. Three beats. So, basically we have a half note: 2 We place a dot after it, this dot being worth half its value: 1 It becomes: 3 Half of a half note is not necessarily one beat. These dots have nothing whatsoever to do with beats. If you have a note with a dot after it, the length of that note is extended by 1/2 of that note's length. A second dot means it is extended a further 1/4. Completely irrespective of how many beats there are in a bar.
.... The dot after the note means you add half the beat. As in if it were a dotted quarter note, you would make it 1 and a HALF beats because half of one beat is a half. Or a dotted half note, it would be three beats because it is the two original beats plus half of the note.
It's just called a half note
It means that length of the note is increased by one half For example: a semibreve is a whole note, and in 4/4 time or 6/4 time (for example) is worth 4 beats. The addition of a dot means that an extra two beats is added to its duration. A minim is worth two beats. The addition of a dot means it is worth three beats. A crotchet is worth one beat. The addition of a dot means it is worth one and a half beats (or 6 quavers).
A dot beside the note means that you had on half the value of the note. Sounds weird, but to take it simplier. Say you have a minum (2 beats) which has a dot on it. You add on 1 beat so that the note is now 3 beats long.

The dot at the right of a half note makes the half note one beat longer. The dot makes the note to the left of the dot half of the note value longer. For example a quarter note dot is one and a half beats in 4/4 time.

Commonly, There Are Four, Depending On The Length And Dynamics Of The Notes.
The dot adds half the value of the note to the note. For example, let's say you have. Quarter note. Last time I checked, it was equal to one beat. When you add the dot, it takes half of the value from The note it's with and adds it to the note. So quarter note plus dot makes it 1.5 beats. Let's use a half note. Two beats, right. Add a dot. Take half of two. That's one. Add it back to two. You now have three beats, or a dotted half note.
It adds to the total duration of the note one half of whatever immediately precedes the dot.
A Half Note With A Dote Next To It The Dot Makes The Half Note Have One More Beat.
The dot next to a note increases its length by half of its original length. For example, the dotted half note. The dot increases the half note's length by half of its original length (which is 2 quarter beats) so the dotted half note is worth 3 quarter beats. It also works on rests. This also applies to other instruments.
