example: The treble staff notes for a bar are three quarter notes followed by two barred eighths IE. common time. The equivalent bass bar confuses me. The first note is a half with a quarter rest above it followed by a quarter then another half note with a quarter rest above it again followed by a quarter. How does this add up in common time?

Look for the stems of the notes. One part will have stems pointing up, the other down. This will help you to clear it up.
GOOOOOOROOOOOO
