Alternative Greetings in English
In addition to the most common greetings like 'Hi' or 'Hello', another widely used way of greeting is using 'Good' + the corresponding time of the day (morning, afternoon, evening). For example:
- Good morning: Good morning/Wish you a good morning
- Good afternoon: Good afternoon
- Good evening: Wish you a good evening
- Good night: Wish you a good night's sleep

Good morning', and after 12 noon, they use 'Good Afternoon'.
III. Meals Throughout the Day
While we can use 'Good' + the corresponding time of the day to greet someone, it is NOT possible to combine 'Meal' (Meal) with the times of the day to form breakfast, lunch/dinner. Instead, we use specific words for each meal:

Example:

(She engages in physical activity every morning)
- Example 2: The conference is scheduled for this afternoon.
