Greeting in different way

How are you? We can’t leave this one out. It’s one of the most basic phrases in the English language and you can use it in any context.

since, as, becuase

We often use as and since clauses at the beginning of the sentence.

We’ll get straight into the business of the meeting. We use because, not as or since, in questions where the speaker proposes a reason: - Are you feeling unwell because you ate too much? - Not: Are you feeling unwell since you ate too much? or … as you ate too much? result reason He decided to go to the conference in Barcelona, as  he was in Spain anyway. Are you angry with me because  I opened the letter? Bilardo coaches his team by telephone, (Bilardo was the coach of the Argentinian football team) since  half of them...
