I am taking classes to improve my English. The instructor and I were going through 'Relative Clauses' this morning when this particular sentence came up. We met the students who you taught Englis...

 

I am concerned about what preposition I should use in this sentence. We met at an event. or We met on an event. Basically when I have to use prepositions for places I get really confused bet...

 

What's the difference between the following? I met him in the UK. I've met him in the UK. Does the second sentence mean that the event was happened recently?

 

I think the choice is between "I happened to meet John yesterday." and "I happen to have met John yesterday". So you can put the past in the happening or in the meeting but not in both.

Example: I met this person once at a meeting a year ago today I am meeting with him again. Should I say: We have met a year ago. Or We had met a year ago.

 

We may say "Finally we met!" if you are later discussing (online perhaps) the meeting that took place earlier after which you parted and went your separate ways.

 

Can somebody please explain the different between the following sentences? "Thank you to all of the people we've met and worked with in 2018." & "Thank you to all of the people we met and wo...
