Putting a dot after a note increases its value by half. For example, a dotted minim would be equal to 2 + 1 = 3 beats. A dotted quaver would be equal to 0.5 + 0.25 = 0.75.
In theory you can add any number of dots after a note. Two dots after a minim would create a note which was 2 + 1 + 0.5 = 3.5 beats long.
