Is it see??
hi..
I want to ask can we use meet in this sentense.
1) I was coming to see you.
2) I was coming to meet You.
Earlier I used to use the Second sentense only . But I find out people use the first one more frequently. Is ther anything wrong with the 2nd one. Please let me know...
thanks..
