Introducing People

There are some main rules of introduction which are useful to remember: men are introduced to women, young people to older ones, old friends to newcomers, and young girls to married.

The usual response to the introduction is “How do you do?” which is a kind of greetings and not a question, and the best answer to it is “How do you do?”. Sometimes one may say less formally “I am glad to meet you”, “Happy to have

met you”, or just “Hello”. Men may stand when introduced, ladies may remain seated.

British and American people usually shake hands especially when formally introduced but they do not always shake hands with people they see often. When an Englishmen passes a friend in the street he only touches his hat.

Usually they smile and say: “Good morning”, ”Good afternoon”, “Good evening”, “Hello” or “Hi”.

When two businessmen meet, they usually shake hands.
