Meet can describe a first introduction or an arranged encounter.
The idea
Use meet with I or we, meets with she and irregular past met. Meet a friend can describe an arranged encounter; nice to meet you is common at an introduction.
Examples
- I meet my friend after class.
- She meets a client on Friday.
- We met at the station yesterday.
- Nice to meet you.
- I know my neighbour well.
- They are meeting outside the library.
