Would I be late for a meeting or to a meeting?
In BrE, we generally refer to being late "for" something (a noun) and simply "late" if followed by a verb.
I was late for the meeting.
I was late getting home.
Almost all the examples given by emsr2d2 apply to AmE as well. The only exception, IMO, is "I was late to bed last night."
"I'm late to a meeting" is not idiomatic.Sorry I'm not getting the difference between '' I'm late for a meeting." and "I'm late to a meeting."
Thank you. You've been loud and clear. Understood.As we said, but perhaps not clearly enough, "late for a meeting" is correct and the most frequently heard. "Late to a meeting" is also grammatically correct but not used very often.
