There are many ways to greet someone. We'll learn about the most common ways to greet someone in this lesson

Greeting someone you never met: "Hello, my name is Anna."

You can respond to this by saying, "Hi Anna, how are you today?"

They may reply with : "I am fine thank you. How are you ?"

You can respond in this way:  "I am good. Thanks for asking."

Another common question to ask is "What do you do for a living?"

You can respond to this by saying,

"I work at a restaurant."
"I work at a bank."
"I work in a software company."
"I'm a dentist."

Usually, you will not need to ask for a name. It is implied that each person should say their name. But in case they don't, you can ask,

"What is your name?"

Sometimes when I first meet someone, I'm not sure what their name is. You can say the following:

"Excuse me, I didn't hear you."
"Pardon."
"I'm sorry, I didn't catch that."
