Faces come together when you meet someone — meet at the station, or meet for coffee. Nice to meet you is for the first time; see you is for people you already know. The past is met, and meet sounds like meat but the spelling is different.

Examples

• “Let’s meet at the station.”
• “Where shall we meet?”
