"Hello", "How are you", "Nice to meet you" — the first words every learner, including children, needs before anything else.

“Good night” is a goodbye, not a greeting — never say it when you arrive somewhere, only when you leave. “Good evening” is what you say on arrival after 5 PM.
Both of these are completely correct English — the choice depends on who you’re talking to, not which one is “proper.”

In most everyday greetings, “How are you?” isn’t a real question — it’s part of the greeting itself. The expected reply is short and positive: “I’m good, thanks — you?” Save the honest, detailed answer for people who actually know you well and have time to listen.
Is lesson mein humne seekha — greeting subah, dopahar, shaam aur raat ke hisaab se badalti hai, aur “good night” hamesha jaate waqt bola jaata hai, milte waqt nahi. Formal aur casual greetings dono sahi hain — sirf sahi mauka pehchanna zaroori hai. Agar confusion ho to formal se shuru karo. “How are you?” ka jawab short aur positive hota hai, jaise “I’m good, thanks” — is mein poori detail batane ki zaroorat nahi hoti. Alvida kehne ke liye bhi “bye” ke alawa “see you later”, “take care” jaise options hote hain, jo situation ke hisaab se badalte hain.
