Now, to answer this question keep it simple - keep it simple. People aren't asking you for a long-winded answer - for a long answer here. They don't really want to know everything about your life at this situation. Answers that they expect are things like 'it's going good' or 'good, thanks' 'pretty good' 'not too bad.' So, we keep the answer here quite short when we're answering this question.

Also, a very common thing to do here is to say: 'what about you?' or just simply 'you?' at the end of answering this question. So, you might say: 'good, you? or 'good, what about you?' So, this is just a very simple way to start a conversation. Usually, when we meet someone for the first time we keep our answers short at the beginning and then we start to elaborate and expand on our answers later when we get into a conversation about something specific.

So, for example, a conversation might go like this: 'Hey, how's it going?' 'Hood thanks, you?' 'Not too bad.' 'Good.' So, it's very, you know, it's very short with these short answers, but then you start to expand and talk a little bit more about your life at this stage. Be sure to look at the description for the written answers so that you can read these answers and memorize them.

There are many tips in English to learn from the native speakers. In Gambia, it is a common question to ask people "How was your night" it all changed the day I asked a Briton how "was your night" he was confused, he eventually explained what it mean to asked someone such question. Your tips are helpful, it make more sense living in native English speaking countries. ?

If you want to be grammatically correct you can say "it's going well" instead of "it's going good". This is because "well" is an adverb meant to describe the verb "going" vs "good" which is an adjective, meaning it should be used to describe a noun. However no one will be upset if you say "it's going good", it's a very common response. Generally the reason someone is asking "how is it going" is just to show that they want to be friendly with you, so any response is fine :D
