"How are you?"is a nice question.It''s a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other.But"How are you?"is also a very unusual question.It''s a question that often doesn''t need an answer.The person who asks"How are you?"hopes to hear the answer"Fine.",even if the person''s friend isn''t fine.The reason is that,"How are you?"isn''t really a question and"Fine."isn t really an answer.They are simply other ways of saying"Hello"or"Hi"!
