Today we're covering a common question from students:

It it OK to just answer 'how are you?' with 'I'm fine'.

Yes! We'll also cover it's cultural purpose.

And we'll cover the nuances of these common phrases and greetings:

• How was your weekend?
• How have you been?
• What have you been getting up to?
• Did you have a good holiday?

And, what do people even mean when they say:

• Let's grab coffee sometime.
• We must catch up.
• Let's do drinks one of these days.
• We must put something in the diary.

And are they different to:

• I need to take a rain check.
• Can we catch up next time.
• I'm in a bit of a hurry.
• I've got a lot on my plate right now.
• Let's put a pin in that.
• Can we push it?
