Common Mispronunciations of Met
Not MEET
Meet runs long and met runs short, and the vowel is the only thing that marks the past tense.
Not MED
The t at the close is voiceless. Americans do tap t between vowels, but at the end of a word it stays crisp.
Tip: Meet, met and met is the whole pattern, so the past and the participle are the same word.
