There are different ways to greet people:
- “How do you do?” or “Pleased to meet you.”
“How do you do?” isn’t really a question, it just means “Hello”.

- How are you? How are you doing? How do you do?
Responding to greeting
- Hi, hello.
- I’m fine thank you (thanks)/Okay! Thank you (thanks)/Not bad.
- How about you?/And you?
