    Default what does the following sentence mean?

    "How to get past fluffy?"
    What does "past" mean here?
    and I didn't even get the meaning of the sentence.
    So, can anyone please make me understand what does this sentence mean.
    Thank you!

    In that case it means " How are we going to get past the dog without him reacting; barking, for example.

    If someone asks us "How are you doing? or How have you been?" then how should we answer ?
    Please make me understand what is the actual meaning of these sentences

    The meaning of the first sentence is 'Aap ke se ho? 'How are you?'.
    With the second, I am a bit weak on the past tense in Hindi, but it means 'How are you up until now?'

    Oh and 'Me bahut acha tha.' 'I have been/was very well', perhaps.
