"to meet" vs "a meeting" #1 (permalink) Thu May 03, 2007 11:01 am   "to meet" vs "a meeting"
 

Is it possible to say:

"We've arranged a meeting outside the school at 4:30?"

or is there a strict rule to use "to" + infinitive after arrange, so that this sentence would look like this:

"We've arranged to meet outside the school at 4:30?"

Best regards,
Zajac!

I suppose that
"We've arranged a to meet outside the school at 4:30?" is incorrect ( you souldn't use 'a')

"We've arranged to meet outside..." is possible i think.

"We've arranged a meeting outside...", 'a meeting' is a noun (so these 2 sentences are similar) and both OK.
If I made a mistake please correct me.

Greetings.
