Asking about health / life
When we meet somebody we know it's polite to ask a question or two about their health and their life. There are many different phrases in English for doing this. Now I'll try to explain ten of themπ€
10 expressions to Use In Speaking And Writing:
1οΈβ£How are you?
2οΈβ£How are things?
3οΈβ£How's things?
4οΈβ£How's it going?
5οΈβ£How are you getting on?
6οΈβ£How have you been?
7οΈβ£What have you been (getting) up to?
8οΈβ£I hope everything's okay?
9οΈβ£Alright?
πHow have you been keeping?
How To Use These Phrases In Your English:
πΈ Phrase 1 is the best known phrase but English people don't use it every time so it's useful to learn some of the others on this page.
πΈ Phrase 2 is a general inquiry about the other person's health and life. Your answer could be about your health, your work or your personal life.
πΈ Phrase 3 is similar to Phrase 2 but the 'incorrect' grammar makes it much more informal.
πΈ Phrase 4 and Phrase 5 are asking about the other person's life (work or personal life).
πΈ Phrase 6 is really asking about health but the other person may answer with general information about their life.
πΈ Phrase 7 is really asking about what kind of activities the other person has been doing recently. It more often refers to their home life, not work.
πΈ Phrase 8 and Phrase 9 are asking about health and life with a yes / no question. Phrase 9 is much more informal than Phrase 8.
πΈ Phrase 10 is more formal but still sincere and friendly and is asking about the other person's health.
