0Dear Eyeseeyou,02br
02br
00The best answers for the questions "How are you?", "How's it going?", "How are you doing?" are : 02br
02br
00- I'm good - I'm ok - I'm so so - I'm well/fine ( my American friends don't often say these) or I'm doing great, I'm doing good.02br
02br
00This is just my opinion, hope this helps.02br

Correct.
When the verb is a form of the infinitive "to be," the correct complement should be "good" (or another adjective). All verbs of the form "to be" take subjective complements which can be adjectives, nouns, or pronouns in the subjective case, but NOT adverbs, such as "well." This rule applies to the question, "How are you feeling?" also, as well as similar. Answer: I feel good. If

Hi,

To me, and I would suggest many people, 'He is good' sounds like a comment on his moral/ethical character.Emotion: smile

I have heard people say 'how do you do? ' when you meet a person for the first time. This is in AmE.

What does it mean?
I am sure it does not mean 'what are you doing for a living'.
If I meet someone for the first time, I am used to saying 'nice meeting you' or 'nice talking to you'.
I may be wrong. Please tell me.
