Phrases that you MUST-Know! Phrases that you MUST-Know!
Answers of the phrases are given below, and to master them, please repeat each of them more than once.
- “What have you been up to?”
We usually use the present perfect continuous tense to give more information than simply ‘nothing much/not much.’
Other answers for “what have you been up to?” include:
- “I’ve just been working a lot.”
- “I’m still finishing the project I’ve been working on.”
- “I’ve been working, cooking, and driving around a lot.”
- “I’ve been travelling.”
- “I’ve been running around non-stop! It feels like I can’t get a break.”
We can also respond with ‘same here’ if the question is returned, and we had the same experience as the person asking it:
Person a: “What have you been up to?”
Person b: “Nothing much, and you?”
Person a: “Same here.”
If we’re being accused of misbehaving, we might respond with:
“I haven’t done anything!”
“Nothing!”
