- ‘How are you?’ when it is used by the first person, it is not always a questions about your health. It is just a part of greeting. And that’s why the second person can just say ‘Good’, ‘Fine’, or ‘All right’ in return.
- When we use titles like Dr, Teacher, or Professor, we also don’t use Mr. and Ms. For example, you can’t say: ‘Hello Doctor Mr. John. You can say: ‘Hello Doctor John’ or ‘Hello Mr. John’.
- People like handshakes. But handshakes sometimes are not necessary when greeting people.
