  4. Meet and Greet! Today we will talk about some common ways to ask and answer “How are you?” in English.

  5. Common Greetings • How are you? • How’s it going? • How’ve you been?

  6. “How are you?” Someone asks: “How are you?” You respond: “I’m fine.” You can use “How are you?” to be polite. But Americans will usually ask this question and answer it in different ways.

  7. How’s it going? If someone says: “How’s it going?” (Short for “How is it going?”) (Sounds like “Howzit goin?”) You can answer: “Pretty good.” = I’m fine. “Not bad.” = just okay or so-so.

  8. A more casual and much more common way to greet someone. “Hey,….” “Hey, how’s it going?” If you’re feeling good, you can say: • “Good.” “Great!” • “Pretty good.” • “Not bad.” Note: These responses are specific to this question. If you respond “I’m fine” it sounds strange.

  9. “Hey, how’s it going?” But if you’re not feeling good, you can say: “Not so good.” “Not great.” “Not so well.” If you answer this way, the other person will usually say: “Why, what’s wrong?” He or she may say this to be polite.

  10. Another more casual and much more common greeting: “What’s up?” What’s up? (another way of saying hello) • “Not much.” • “Nothing much.”

  11. Basic greetings • Hello / hi: used to greet somebody • good morning / morning: greeting said in the morning • good afternoon: said after 12pm to around 4 to 5pm • good evening: said when it gets dark outside
