settle a meeting for

[BrunaBC]

Hi,

Could you help me with this one?
Supposing that I know that a meeting was settled / arranged today and I want to ask when it will take place.
Are the questions below right?

1) When did you arrange the meeting for?

2) When did you settle the meeting for?

Thank you

The first one is fine. The second is not natural.

I would prefer, "When is the meeting scheduled?"

We don't use "settle" like that. You might hear "We settled on a date for the meeting" where "to settle on" means "to agree", "to decide" or "to choose".

I would use "When did you arrange the meeting for?" I don't think we use schedule quite as often in BrE as it's used in AmE. I might also say "So when's the meeting?" if I knew that a date/time had been fixed and the person I was speaking to knew which meeting I was talking about.

I see your point, and I was thinking if it's wrong to say "when's the meeting going to be?"

"When is the meeting going to be?" is fine.
