Anglais : Greetings and Introductions

To greet someone, use 'Hello' or 'Hi'. Depending on the time, say 'Good morning', 'Good afternoon', or 'Good evening'. To introduce yourself, use the formula 'I am [Name]' or 'My name is [Name]'. Always ask the other person 'What is your name?'. Remember that the verb 'to be' changes with the subject: 'I am' and 'You are'. These basic steps allow you to connect with others confidently. Using these simple phrases ( $n=3$ main structures) is the foundation of communication.

Think of 'I am' as 'I=am' (1=1). 'You' is always plural/polite, so it always takes 'are'.

Saying 'I am name is...' or 'My name am...'

Use only one structure: either 'I am [Name]' or 'My name is [Name]' ( $S + V + C$ ).
