"Meet" is both transitive and intransitive. When we say: "They meet every Friday," it is intransitive since there is not direct object. When we say" He met his friend at the library," it is transitive since "his friend" is a direct object. Alternatively, "He met the standards and was employed," is another intransitive usage of the verb. Regards, Doug
It can be used as a noun; for example, "I attended the track meet." I this case, meet is a noun (modified by track).
But "meet" is most often used as a verb; for example, "I would like to meet your family."
