Conversations:
Greetings:
- Formal: “Hello. How do you do?” “How have you been?”
- Informal: “Hey. What’s up?” “What’s new?” “How’s it going?”
- Unfamiliar: “Excuse me. May I ask you a question?” “Pardon me.” “Do you have a minute?”
Conversations [When Speaking]:
- “How are you?” –I’m well/fine/not too bad. –Same as always. -I’m tired/upset.
- “What’s up?” –Nothing much/Not too much.
- “I want to talk to you about…” “I have an idea…” “I just thought of something…” “That reminds me of something…” “What do you think about…?”
Conversations [When Listening]:
- “Sure” “That’s true” “Uh-huh.”
- “Really?” “Seriously?” “Are you kidding me?”
- “Of course” “I understand” “I see what you mean”
- “That’s too bad” “I’m sorry”

Farewells:
