How are you?
Look at the following conversation:
A: Hi, David! How are you?
B: I’m fine, thanks. And you?
A: I’m fine, too. Thank you.
When a person asks “How are you?” People usually say “I’m fine”, but sometimes that’s not true. Let’s learn how to be more specific about the way we feel.
The first thing you have to know is the way we ask and answer about the way people feel. Study the following questions and notice that we usually include “thanks” in the answer.
How are you? (to ask directly to the person you talk to)
I’m fine, thanks. And you?
I’m fine, too. Thank you.
How is he? (To ask about a man)
He is fine, thanks.
How is she? (To ask about a woman)
She is fine. Thank you.
Instead of “he” or “she” you can use a family member, or a name. Look at the examples:
You can also use this question in plural, for example when you ask about 2 people at the same time
Now, when we answer those questions we need the following vocabulary
Fine/bien
Sad/triste
Excited/emocionado
Nervous/nervioso
Angry/enojado
Stressed/estresado
Happy/feliz
Scared/asustado
Worried/precupado
Tired/cansado
