10分鐘Grammar精讀 學英文最討厭的就是似懂非懂，模模糊糊，永遠在學卻永遠學不會。
每天花10分鐘精讀文法，學英文毫無疲勞感，但你一定要確定這十分鐘，你弄懂一個文法概念。 meet vs. know 都有認識的意思，有何不同？我大學時就認得他了，如果動詞用knew，一定很怪，彷彿現在不認得了。原因是這個認得其實是一種動作，不是狀態，應該用met！ ‘meet' 指的是一段關係的起頭、初始。
I met my wife in law school. ‘meet' 也表示人和人之間的關係並不密切。 "Do you know Mr. Wu?" "Well, we've met twice, I think. I wouldn't say I know him." 從這個的例子中，可以清楚看到meet與know的差別。meet用在關係的起頭，而know是關係的形成，或者關係已發展不錯。
因此，若你將這兩個字混淆，有可能讓人誤以為你想要吹噓自己和某人的關係，表示自己的重要性。使用時要特別留意。 不過，meet 與know也不是這麼黑白分明，它們還是有一些灰色地帶。因此，英文就有其它片語表達這種關係。以下是幾個不同的情況：
情況1.
A: Oh, there's Ms. Chou! B: Really? Do you know her? A: Well, no, but I've seen her on television.
B: Well, I know her from television, everyone probably knows of her by now.
A: Of course we've never met, but isn't she the First Lady?
情況2.
A: Oh, there's Ms. Chou!
B: Really? Do you know her?
A: Well, we met once at a bank meeting, but I doubt she'd remember me.
情況3.
A: Oh, there's Ms. Chou!
B: Really? Do you know her?
A: We've met one or two times at the bank.
情況4.
A: Oh, there's Ms. Chou!
B: Really? Do you know her?
A: Well, not very well, but we end up talking to each other for work, occasionally.
B: We do have to communicate sometimes for work, as my department works with hers.
A: Well, yes, she's on the legal advisory team at my bank.
情況5.
A: Oh, there's Ms. Chou!
B: Really? Do you know her?
