Greetings

Do you know the difference between  Good night and the three expressions good morning, good afternoon and good evening ?

Good night is used when you leave people after that last drink and you are going home to bed  !! Good evening is a formal way to greet people after 5 o'clock. Normally , we just say "Hello" or  "Hi".


Check your social skills: What would be an acceptable way of answering these greetings ?

a) How are you ?
b) How do you do?
c) Hi !
d) Good morning .
e) How's it going ?

Check your answers:

a) Very well,/I'm fine ,   thanks .And (how are) you?
b) How do you do?
c) Hello !  /Hi !
d) Good morning !
e)  O.K .thanks. / Not bad /All right .
