• Good morning, Good afternoon, or Good evening / night
• More appropriate than saying ‘Hello’, it depends on the time of the day.
Can be used with people you already know or strangers.
• It’s nice to meet you or Pleased to meet you
• It’s a formal and polite greeting used when it’s the first time you meet the
person. Next time you see the person you can show that you remember
him or her by saying “it’s nice to see you again”.
• How have you been?
• Only asked by people who have already met.
• How do you do?
• This greeting is VERY formal, and quite uncommon. The proper response
is “I’m doing well” or, as strange as it seems, some people even ask “how
do you do?” right back as an answer.
