Grammar:

• Every day I go to school

  ➔ Present Simple Tense (Habitual Action)

  ➔ Uses the present simple tense to describe a routine or habitual action. The word "every day" emphasizes the repetition of going to school.

• How are you?

  ➔ Interrogative Sentence (Question Formation)

  ➔ A simple question using the verb "to be" in the present tense. The word order is inverted (auxiliary verb + subject + main verb/complement) to form a question.

• I'm good, I'm great!

  ➔ Subject Pronoun + Verb 'to be' (Contraction)

  ➔ Uses contractions ('I'm') for the subject pronoun 'I' and the verb 'am'. The adjectives 'good' and 'great' describe the speaker's state.

• How about you?

  ➔ Prepositional Phrase as a Question

  ➔ This is an elliptical question, a shortened form of "How are you about yourself?" or "How are you doing?". The preposition "about" introduces the topic of the question (the other person's well-being).

• What's your name?

  ➔ Possessive Pronoun + Noun (Asking for Information)

  ➔ The possessive pronoun "your" modifies the noun "name". The contraction "What's" is short for "What is". It's a common way to ask for someone's identity.

• Nice to meet you!

  ➔ Infinitive Phrase expressing emotion

  ➔ The phrase 'Nice to meet you' uses the infinitive 'to meet' to express a feeling of pleasure upon meeting someone for the first time. "Nice" is an adjective describing the experience.
