Notice that you have ties, and dotted quarter notes, it’s okay, use any combination you want, as long as each measure has 2 beats, or 2 counts and each count must be the same value as 1 quarter note.

So far you know 4/4, 3/4 and 2/4 but time signatures can be almost any number, in higher levels if you keep learning more you’ll see that time signatures can be 6/8 or 2/2 or 3/8 or even 5/16 or 7/32. I know it looks strange but that’s why music is so nice you have unlimited possibilities to create new music!
