Introducing a friend to a classmate

"Sarah, have you met my classmate John?"
"Sarah, I'd like you to meet my classmate John."
Sarah says:
"Pleased to meet you, John." Or "Nice to meet you, John."
John could say:
"Nice to meet you too, Sarah." Or "Hello, Sarah."
"Pleased to meet you." Or "Good to meet you."




Greeting people you don't know


You can use "Hello" with people you don't know, but a more formal greeting is "Good morning / Good afternoon / Good evening."
The other person normally replies with the same greeting as you have used and then makes polite conversation.

Introducing yourself - At an informal party


"Hello, I'm Sónia." Or "Hello, my name's Sónia."
The reply could be:
"Hi, I'm Sarah." Or "Hello Sónia, I'm Sarah." Or "Nice to meet you, I'm Sarah."

Greetings - Two friends meeting

Friends often say "Hi" to each other.
Then they often ask a general question, such as "How are you?" or "How are things?" or "How's life?"
The reply to this question is normally positive.
"Fine thanks, and you?"
"Fine thanks, what about yourself?"
"Not bad." Or "I can't complain."
