‘Encontrar a’ vs ‘Encontrarse con’
I met your brother John in the city centre today (I bumped into him by chance):
• Hoy encontré a tu hermano Juan en el centro. • Hoy me encontré con tu hermano Juan en el centro. I met your brother John in the city centre today (I had already planned to meet him there): • Hoy encontré a tu hermano Juan en el centro. • Hoy me encontré con tu hermano Juan en el centro. Are these sentences correct? If so, is it safe to say that ‘encontrar a’ and ‘encontrarse con’ both mean: (i) to bump into by chance (ii) to meet as per previous arrangement.
