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'.
A 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 you use the verb 'have'.
But what about if you just meet a friend?
There's no romance.
There's no dentistry, and there's no business being discussed
What then?
How can you say: 'I'm meeting a friend?'
It's exactly that.
If it's romantic, you 'have a date'.
If it's for a service, like a doctor, lawyer, dentist, you 'have an appointment'.
If it's for business, you 'have a meeting'.
If 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 class. Bye!
