Fine or Very Good
If somebody says to me, "How are you?", my answer is usually, "Fine, thank you, and you?"

Hi Snappy,
Your reponse should contain an information on how you are doing, i.e. you should
qualify a verb. A verb qualifier is an adverb. The adjective "good" may play a role
of an adverb in colloquial speech, like in "I feel good", while in formal context you
should employ an appropriate adverb like in "I am fine", "I'm doing well", etc. Native
speakers may disagree wit
