“Date”, “Meeting”, and “Appointment”. What’s the difference? – English grammar


in English there are three words which
mean your date word these are those the
first is the true use of date which
means a romantic meeting they both like
each other well I’m not sure about her
but they both like each other they go
out somewhere that’s called a date the
next kind of meeting you wouldn’t call a
date you wouldn’t date your dentist
maybe some people would I don’t know but
in this case when you meet your dentist
that’s not called a date that’s called
an appointment lawyer doctor
psychologist people who provide a
service to you Third Kind is this one
again this one we wouldn’t call it a
date it’s for business so we’d call it a
meeting all of them use the verb have
have a date have an appointment and have
a meeting but what about if you just
meet a friend there’s no romance no
dentistry and there’s no business being
discussed what then how can you say I’m
meeting a friend it’s exactly that I’m
meeting a friend or I’m seeing a friend
if it’s romantic you have a date if it’s
for a service like a doctor lawyer
dentist we have an appointment if it’s
for business you have a meeting you’re
seeing friends you’re seeing your friend
or you’re meeting your friend both are
okay so I hope that is a little more
clear now let us know what you have
troubles understanding we’ll try and
make a video for you see you in the next
