English greetings and expressions are an essential part of any English learner’s vocabulary. They are used to initiate and maintain social interactions, and they often serve as a way to show politeness and respect. Basic greetings such as “hello,” “good morning,” and “goodbye” are often the first phrases that English learners learn, but there are many more expressions that can be used in different situations. For example, “how are you?” can be used as a casual greeting, while “nice to meet you” is often used when meeting someone for the first time. Additionally, other expressions such as “please” and “thank you” are important to show politeness, and “excuse me” is used to get attention or to apologize. By mastering these greetings and expressions, English learners will be able to communicate more effectively and build relationships with native English speakers.
