Usage notes
- Met is a defective, impersonal verb, and as such it only occurs in the past tense, for example:
- Me met that I was walking in a wondrous wood where a thousand wild wolfins live. (I dreamt that I was walking in a wondrous forest where a thousand wild she-wolves live)
- In Old English and Middle English this verb was not defective and was used both personally and impersonally. However, in northern rural dialects, where it is still in useCategory:Requests for attention concerning English#MET, this verb only occurs in the past tense and in impersonal constructions.
