I have a question about the verb TO MEET. I'm very confused about how to use it correctly!
I've seen a video lesson on Youtube where the teacher said we shouldn't use the verb TO MEET in situations like this: "Yesterday I met my friend when I was shopping". The teacher said we should use the verb SEE for this situation, because the verb TO MEET must be used only when we are talking about the first time we see somebody.
However, I was watching another video lesson in which the teacher says: "When we run into somedoby, it means that we meet him/her accidentally". In this situation, it seems to me that the example is about a previously known person. Besides, I've heard a lot sentences like "I'll meet you tomorrow at 6 o'clock".
So my question is: Is it wrong to say "Yesterday I met my friend" but right to say "Tomorrow I'll meet my friend"?
Hope my question is clear...
Thanks in advance!
