The choice of first names rather than Mr or Mrs X is the first distinction. When you meet someone for the first time you say: - How do you do? - Nice/pleased to meet you. To which you can reply: - How do you do? - Pleased to meet you too. If the situation is very informal you can say: - Hi. I’m Jane, nice to meet you. – I’m Sarah, hi! Nice to meet you too. When you greet someone you have already met before, you may say: - Good morning/afternoon/evening. These are the most formal greetings but you can use "Good morning" with people you know well without sounding detached. - Good morning, John. Did you sleep well last night? - Good morning, Mrs Hancher. I’m sorry I’m late! You can use "Hello" in all situations while "Hi" is rather informal.

You can add "Have a nice day" or "Have a nice week-end" if you are speaking to a friend or a colleague and answer "Thank you, same to you". "Cheerio" is a very informal way of saying goodbye. You say "Goodnight" only before you go to bed. This is what you say on different happy occasions: "Happy birthday", on someone’s birthday; "Happy or Merry Christmas" and "Happy Easter" just before or on Christmas or Easter Day; "Happy New Year" on New Year’s Eve and at the beginning of the year; "Cheers!" when you have a drink with someone and want to express good wishes; "Good luck!" to wish someone well before an important test; "Congratulations!" and often "Well done!" to someone who has just succeeded in doing something.
