Today we're covering a common question from students:
It it OK to just answer 'how are you?' with 'I'm fine'.
Yes! We'll also cover it's cultural purpose.
And we'll cover the nuances of these common phrases and greetings:
- How was your weekend?
- How have you been?
- What have you been getting up to?
- Did you have a good holiday?
And, what do people even mean when they say:
- Let's grab coffee sometime.
- We must catch up.
- Let's do drinks one of these days.
- We must put something in the diary.
And are they different to:
- I need to take a rain check.
- Can we catch up next time.
- I'm in a bit of a hurry.
- I've got a lot on my plate right now.
- Let's put a pin in that.
- Can we push it?
I hope you find it useful.#emmaseslenglish #englishlisteningpractice #english #englishconversation #englishconversationpractice #englishgreetings
