These are used as greetings when you meet someone, or when you start a telephone conversation. We say hello especially when we talking to people we do not know well, or to older people.

This, one of my favourites, is used as a friendly greeting when you meet somebody, start a telephone conversation, or at the begining of an informal email.
    Hi Matt! I haven't since you for ages.

Good Morning
This is a polite way to greet someone in the morning. Usually people say Morning to greet people in an informal way..
    Good morning, class.

Good Afternoon
It's something you say to greet somebody politely when you meet them in the afternoon. English speakers say Afternoon as a friendly way of greeting someone.
    Good Afternoon. Would you like some lunch?

Good Evening
It's a polite grreting used in the evening time. People use Evening to greet somebody whom they know well.
    Evening, friends. Where are you off to this evening?

How are you❓ ,   How are things  and   How is it going
These are informal expressions used when you are greeting someone and starting a conversation.
    How is it going, Jane? Long time no see you.

How do you do
This is a formal greeting for somebody that you have not met before. Use it the first time peolpe tell you their name.
