What do you mean by this?

Sometimes "appointment" seems to have more than one meaning.

I kept/had my appointment with your father on Friday. ("On Friday" seems adverbial.)

I made/had an appointment with your father for Friday, but I cancelled it. ("For Friday" seems adjectival.)

Hi,

1. "I have an appointment with your father for/on 25th."

2. "I have made an appointment with your father on/for 25th."

A small additional point.

In #2, I am the one who made the appointment.

In #1, we don't know for sure who made the appointment. Maybe me, maybe your father.
