The word "meet"

Hello All,
When should we use

1) Meet
2) Meet with
3) Meet up

What is the difference between them? Kindly give me examples and explanations, if possible.

Thanks,
Prasanna

I'd like to meet (be introduced to) your parents. I'm going to meet with (have a conference) your teacher tomorrow morning. I hope to meet up with (get together with) the other singing groups at the conference.

And don't use any of them with inanimates. This is wrong:

*I met a sentence that contained a verb in the past tense.

Use the idiom "run across" instead.


I ran across a sentence that contained a verb in the past tense.
