When to Use
- Formal greetings
- Use 'Good morning,' 'Good afternoon,' or 'Good evening' in polite or professional situations.
- Informal greetings
- Use 'Hi' or 'Hey' with friends and people you already know.
- Introductions
- Use 'My name is...' or 'I'm...' to tell people who you are. Reply with 'Nice to meet you.'
Tip
In English, 'How are you?' is often a greeting, not a real question. Answer with 'Good, thanks!' or 'Fine, and you?' — not a long story about your day.
