My name is Emma, and in today's video I am going to teach you about the difference between

This is a very common mistake I hear many, many students making.

I'm also going to teach you about the difference between

And this, in case you're wondering, is the past tense of "meet".

Okay? So in this video we're going to talk about:

"know", "meet", "meet up with", and "meet with",

and: What are the differences between those different words?

Do you know what the difference between these sentences are?

Are there any ones that have a mistake in them or all these all good sentences?

Okay, so take a moment and think about it.

So, let's first look at the difference between these two:

"I knew Chelsea last week." and "I met Chelsea last week."

Pictures can really help you remember things, and they can really, you know, help make a point...

We have "meet", which is now and the past, which is "met".

It's the first time that they are talking.

We use "meet" when we're meeting somebody for the first time.

So these guys, they don't know each other and now they are meeting for the first time.

Okay, so these two, we could say: "They met last week."

Meaning: The first time they shook hands:

Now, compare this to "know" or "knew", which again, is the past tense.

Okay? They've been friends for a very long time.

It's not they're meeting for the first time.

So if there's history between two people, they know each other.

If there is no history between two people and, you know, it's their first time shaking

hands, saying: "Nice to meet you", they meet each other.

Okay? Because "know" means you met the person a long time ago and you've...

For this, this is the first time, we would use "meet" not "know".

So another thing I wanted to say on this is a lot of the times you want to...

You know, you want to talk about how long has somebody been friends with somebody or

how long has somebody had this person for their teacher.

What we usually use is the present perfect, so we often say how long we've known someone.

Okay? So "known" is the past participle of "know".

-"Oh. How long have you known your husband for?"

Okay? So, again, this is asking about: How long is your history?

When you meet somebody, you know, and there's like a couple, you often say:

How long have you known Jennifer for?" Okay?

So now let's look at some of the differences with "met", or, sorry.

We've just gone over the difference between "know" and "met".

For these two: "I knew Chelsea last week.", "I met Chelsea last week."

Well, if you said number two: "I met Chelsea last week."

This one is correct, because usually you know somebody for a long time and we usually don't

use "knew" because it makes it sound like the person has died or that you don't know

So we usually use "know" or we use "have known".

So, what you could say is: "I have known Chelsea since last week."

But if you're talking about, like, meeting first time, we would use "met".
