12 Best Answers to “How’s Your Day Going?”
Each day, many of us are faced with the question “How is your day going” by coworkers and friends. When we get home, we are once again faced with the question “How was your day” by a partner or family member.
It can be hard to know exactly what to reply to these questions. Do we have to say how the day really is going, or can we just use a standard polite answer?
In this article, we will cover the 12 best answers to “How’s your day going” and give you an opportunity to choose either the polite version or actually tell people how you feel.
The preferred responses are “great, thanks for asking,” “it’s been (adjective),” and to explain your day. Simple answers like “great, thanks for asking” work when you don’t want to elaborate. Longer answers like explaining your day help people to know more about your day.

Great, Thanks For Asking
“Great, thanks for asking” is a generic response that you can use. Of course, you can replace “great” with any adjective (positive or negative) that describes your day in a general way.

It’s Been (Adjective)
“It’s been (adjective)” is another polite response you can use. You can decide which adjective you want to place after “been” to show how your day has gone. You don’t need to elaborate further than that unless you want to.
This response is still quite generic. There’s a bit more to it than the first response since you have the freedom to pick the adjective you use. However, it’s still a common response that you’ll find a lot of people use.
Explain Your Day
Explaining your day is by far one of the best choices for responding to “how’s your day going.” If you want to be honest and tell people how you feel, you should just start to explain what’s happened during your day.
You don’t have to explain every detail. You only need to explain the ones that you find most relevant. Explain all of the details that you think have had a profound impact on your current mood.
It’s Been A Tough One
“It’s been a tough one” shows that you’ve had a hard day. It’s up to you to decide whether you want to explain more about your day or not.
It’s Not Going Very Well
“It’s not going very well” is an honest response that shows you’re having a hard time. A lot of people dismiss these questions and say something like, “it’s fine” or “I’m okay.” This phrase allows you to be a bit more honest about your situation.
Where Do I Even Begin?
“Where do I even begin” is a great response that shows there is a lot to unpack about your day. This phrase works best when you have gone through a lot (either positive or negative). You should always elaborate when you use this one.
A Couple Of Unexpected Things Happened
“A couple of unexpected things happened” is an interesting response that leaves some things up to the imagination. Unless you want to specify what the “unexpected things” are, you can leave the asker with some mystery behind the question.
Same As Always
“Same as always” is a standard response used by many native speakers. It’s somewhat dismissive, but if you don’t often do things in your day that will change your mood, you can use this response to show that your day is just like any other.
For the most part, this phrase works well when you already know the person who is asking about your day.
Nothing New To Report
I Suppose It Could Be Worse
“I suppose it could be worse” is an optimistic way to view a bad day. If many bad things have happened during your day, but you still want to give off a positive vibe, this response might be a good choice.
Not Bad, But There’s Still Time
“Not bad, but there’s still time” is a somewhat pessimistic response you can use. “Not bad” indicates that nothing has gone wrong in your day yet. “There’s still time” shows that you’re anticipating something to change about that.
Technically, the change can be good or bad. “Not bad” is a fairly neutral phrase, so your day could get better or worse, depending on whatever happens next.
It Could Be Better
“It could be better” is a response that people use when their day isn’t going according to plan. If they have done things in their day that have had a negative impact on their mood, they might say something like this.
It’s usually a good way of getting the original asker to dive deeper into the question. It might help them to learn more about you and what has happened.
