| Section One - Part F Wie
geht es dir? Talking about how you are
When we meet people, we also like to be able to ask how are you?
Right? When we are talking to a friend of ours, we are going to say Wie
geht's? to them to ask how they are. We might get a variety of responses.

Es geht mir sehr gut. |
Es geht mir gut. |
Es geht mir okay. |

Es geht mir nicht so gut. |
Es geht mir schlecht. |
