Hello everyone,
I just want some confirmation on the following sentences:
1) How do you do ?
2) How did you do ?
3) How do you do it ?
4) How did you do it ?
Here is my interpretation of what they actually mean:-
#1 is the standard greeting between two people who've just met.
The speaker in #2 could be enquiring about the performance of a friend in an exam, a race (sports) or an interview, among others.
In #3, the speaker is astonished at someone's ability to multitask and accomplished so much in a single day.
#4, the recipient of the "query" in #3 is reminiscing about the good ol days when he/she was multitasking and leading a very busy life.
Anything wrong with the sentence, grammatically ? Are my interpretations spot on ?
