I bumped into Mark at the café and asked, 'how are things' before we ordered.

He wondered aloud how's come the tour was canceled at the last minute.

He couldn't tell how manyth chapter the clue referred to.

How's about we grab some coffee after the meeting?

When she heard the claim, she asked how so, wanting more details.

When I said the new policy would fail, she asked how so.

I saw my old college roommate at the cafe and, with a grin, I casually said, "how's it hanging?"

When he visited the small village, he nodded to an old friend and called out, 'how bist', in that familiar West Midlands drawl.

I greeted my neighbor with a smile and said, 'how's it going,' as I passed by his garden.

When she suggested we all chip in for his ridiculous idea, I just said how about no.
