Don’t just answer. Keep the ball moving.

Every everyday English question has three ways back. See the trigger phrase, say your version out loud, then open the card to check.

How’s it going? What’s new? The openers you hear every single day.

So what do you do? Talk about your job without freezing up.

Any plans? How was your weekend? Turn a yes/no into a real exchange.

What are you in the mood for? Order, share, and react to a meal.

Where are you from? How do you like it here? Place talk that opens doors.

You okay? What did you think? Say how you feel without going flat.

Want to grab a coffee? Turn a friendly signal into an actual plan.

I should get going. Leave a conversation warmly instead of abruptly.

Do you live around here? The safest personal topic there is.

Any siblings? How’s the family? Answer without handing over the whole map.

You look tired — everything okay? Care disguised as a question.

Seen anything good lately? Recommend without summarizing the plot.

Do you use AI for that? Sorry, you cut out. Confessions beat specifications.

Was it expensive? Should we split it? Answer without naming a figure.

Your English is really good! The questions you get for being a learner.

Forgotten names, saying no, disagreeing. The sentences nobody teaches you.
