Greetings & Introductions

Hello, goodbye, and telling people your name.

Visual Explanation

Greeting + Introduction

Hello / Hi+my name is / I'm+name

Examples

Hello, my name is Marco.

Hi! I'm Clara. Nice to meet you.

Good morning. How are you?

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.
