A summary of asking how someone is

Today I want to introduce some easy ways and common ways to ask how someone is.Maybe we have probably learned how are you and I'm fine in textbooks before.But as we all know that in the United States,People will usually ask this question and  answer it in  the different way.

 

If someone ask you :"How are you?"You could say I'm fine .Here are some other ways to answer.Pretty good.This means as same as I'm fine.We also have not bad.You can use it if you feel just good or so so.

 

But let's look at some other different ways to ask how someone is.This way is more casual and much more common.If someone say :Hey ,how is it going?You can answer it in many ways.If you feel good .You can say : Good or Pretty good or Not bad .Here is a lip:Even though these answers mean the same thing as I'm fine.But you can't answer it with I'm fine.If you are not feeling good.You can say : Not so good or Not so well or Not great.Be careful ,When you say one of these.Other person will usually ask you why or what's wrong?Then you have to explain it.

 

Another very casual but more common version of how are you is: what's up?To replay use a cheerful voice to say: Not much or Nothing much.This means you are free and able to chat.

 

A lot of time when we ask means how are you in English .We're not actually asking about other person's health .We only asking to be polite.You should think of these questions as another way of saying "hello".A  way for the conversations to get started.In fact, when someone asks you what's up?You don't need to answer  just say what's up .

 

Okay,These are all things I want to tell you.I hope you will enjoy it.
