How to Answer English Questions that Start With, "What are you up to..."

As you learn English you run into common questions that people use to start conversations. Three very common questions are, "What are you up to these days?", "What are you up to?", and, "What are you up to today?"

Each of these questions is referring to a different period of time. In this English lesson I'll help you learn how to respond to each by explaining the time each question is referring to: either the past, the present, or the future.

In addition I'll give you some tips on how to sound more like a native speaker when answering by using filler words and phrases. Spoken English can be a bit different than formal written English. We'll go over some contractions and reductions as well so you can be more confident when you speak!

I hope you enjoy this English lesson on how to answer these common questions!

⌛ Remember: Always watch the video three times. Twice today with English subtitles on, and once tomorrow with the English subtitles off. This will reinforce the English you have learned!
