[Grammar] Confused and need help in Grammar and sentence formation

[Gaurav_2010]

Hey Everyone

I need your help in the following sentences:

• A. Whats going on?
  
• B. Its been a long time since I have visited here.

Sentence A: Today one of my clients asked me this in chat "Whats going on?". Actually I don't know the exact meaning of "Whats going on?". And when he said this I got so confused and I keep on thinking how could I answer this statement.

I have seen some people saying "nothing much" as a reply for this statement. Is this correct? Can I also use this as a reply?

Sentence B: "Its been a long time since I have visited here". Is this sentence grammaticlly correct??

I request you guys to please clear my doubts.

Many thanks in advance for your help and replies

A. What's going on?

In BrE this normally means, "what is happening/has happened?" It is often asked when there are signs of unusual activity.

• B. It's been a long time since I have visited here.

It's acceptable, though with 'here', these sound more natural to me:

It's a long time since I have been here
It's a long time since I was here.
I haven't been here for a long time.
