grammar - "I met" vs "I've met"
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?
Answer
Interpretation depends on at least two of the possible meanings of meet in these phrases:
- to come into the company or presence of
- to be introduced to
The first sentence could employ either of these meanings. The second sentence would only allow the first interpretation.
