im not talking about formal ways of saying

i wanna know the absolutely correct way of saying this.

Also,

"How is you" rather than "How are you"?

It was he who did it. He is subject case - both following the copula verb "be," and being antecedent to the relative pronoun who (subject case) in the dependent clause. ( who did it ) Anonymous Also, is it true it's correct to say "How is you" rather than "How are you"?
