OPINION VIDEO
1. “HOW ARE YOU?” IS SIMPLY ANOTHER WAY TO SAY HELLO — HERE’S
HOW TO ANSWER
Most of the time, we use this question as a polite way to say hello, and you don’t
need to say anything about how you are really feeling. Say one or two positive
words, thank them for asking, and ask them the same question. Any of these
answers will work almost all of the time:
“Great, thank you. How are you?” (very positive)
“Good, thanks, and you?” (positive – this is the most common answer)
“Fine, thanks. How are you?” (a little less positive – I’m okay)
Your answer will depend on the person who is asking, and how well you know
them.

2. “HI, BOSS, HOW ARE YOU?”

If you are in a business situation, you might be saying hello to your boss or
colleague, or meeting someone for the first time. You need to answer briefly, but
in a positive way. “Great!” “I’m doing really well, thank you,” or “Fantastic!” are
all good ways to answer. They will tell the other person that you are enthusiastic
and ready to work. You might be shaking hands, too. Here’s how that conversation
might go:
Mr. Brown: Good morning, Mr. Mendoza. How are you today?
Mr. Mendoza: I’m good, thanks. And you?
Mr. Brown: Great, great, thanks. (shaking hands)
Two things to notice here:
The answer is short and positive, even if you have had a terrible day.
Many times, people will answer with the word “good.” Good is an adjective, and
can describe you, so it’s okay to use with the verb “to be.” You can also say “I’m
doing well.” Well is an adverb, and it describes how you are doing or feeling.

3. HOW TO ANSWER “HOW ARE YOU?” WHEN MEETING STRANGERS AND

OTHER FORMAL SITUATIONS
If you are talking to a waiter, a cashier at the checkout, or if you’re being
introduced to a person in a casual situation, your answer can be a little different.
Let’s look at a sample:
Cashier (as she checks you out): Hi, how are you today?
You: Fine, thanks. It’s a beautiful day.
Some things to notice here:
“How are you?” is just a way of greeting someone in a polite way.
Don’t say anything personal. For example, don’t tell the cashier that you are
buying medicine because your child stayed home sick from school today.

4. HOW TO ANSWER “HOW ARE YOU?” WHEN HANGING OUT WITH

FRIENDS IN CASUAL SITUATIONS
Your friends will probably ask you the very same question, but It might sound a
little different! You might hear:
How’ve you been?
How are you doing?
What’s up?
How’s it going?
Here’s the nice thing – when you are with friends and family, you can tell the
truth! If you are talking to people who care about you, you can tell them that
you’ve had a bad day, or that you feel tired.
One thing you still shouldn’t do is answer with a complete description of some
medical problems you are having. If you are talking to a friend, you can offer more
information if they ask (and if they are your friend, they probably will!) Here’s a
conversation between friends:
Marta: Hi, John! How are you?
John: I’m fine, maybe a little tired. I need some more coffee.
Marta: Oh, I’m sorry. Did you sleep well last night?
John: Not really. I had a headache when I went to bed, and I still have it this
morning.
A couple things to see:
The question is the same! “How are you?” works for both formal and informal
conversations.
The answer is more personal, but still doesn’t give much information. If your friend
wants more information, they will ask you.

SO, HOW ARE YOU?

Remember, “How are you?” is usually just another way to say hello. If you smile
and say “Good, thanks,” you’ve successfully answered the question.
And extra points if you also ask, “How are you?” in response!
Now, what if you hear a different question? For example, many native English
speakers will ask you “How have you been?” instead of “How are you?” So how do
you answer that question? Find out in this lesson (click here)!
