 Hi, there!👋

Let's talk about using different greetings in English. You may be wondering why you need to learn about greetings. Of course, you wouldn't greet a teacher in the same manner that you would use for a classmate or friend. You should learn which greetings to use in which situations. To help you get started, here are a few common English greetings that you can use in formal, informal, or casual situations.

 

There are many other options, but here are six of the most common formal ways to say “hello”:

1. “Hello!”

2. “Good morning.”

3. “Good afternoon.”

4. “Good evening.”

5. “It’s nice to meet you.” 

6. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.” 

These greetings can be used in most informal situations when you are saying hello to a classmate or to someone you meet on the street.

7. “Hi!” (The most common greeting in English)

8. “Morning!” (A short way of saying “Good morning”)

10. “What’s new?”

11. “It’s good to see you.” (Used when you haven’t seen someone in a while)
