ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE
I met this english guy and he said *hello april HOW COMES?*

I was so confused,but I thought *how comes?* is similar to *how are you?*

if you know the answer please tell me about this.

Hi April,

Did your your friend say, "How comes?", or "How goes it?" Here in the U. S., we often say, "How goes it" which is the same as "how are you," "How are things," things like that.

But there may be a different expression in England.

Good luck!

Mark

Hi, the term "how comes" is not used in English. 'How goes it' would be used. The person who said that did not know English very well. Hope this helps.
