see/meet someone at school
Can you say "Let's meet at school."?
If so, I know it would mean "I want us to meet inside the school".

My question is if it can also mean "in front of the school" as a location to meet up with a friend without intending to go inside the school. Or should it be "Let's meet at 'the' school."?

Thanks :D

Hello!

Both statements you write do not indicate a specific location at the school. If you are saying this to a friend or someone you see regularly, they will presume you would be arranging to meet at the school in whichever location is usual for you.

You would need to specify the location further by saying "Let's meet out the front" or "Let's meet in front of school."

Hope this helps 😊

Answer

'at school' means no specific place. You can say 'let's meet at school entrance' or 'somewhere nearby school'
