✕Common Mistakes
Merci pour demander.
The correct preposition after *merci* is *de* when followed by an infinitive.
Ça va très super.
Avoid stacking two intensifiers; choose either *très* or *super*, not both.
Ça va super bien.
*Super* already conveys a high degree, so adding *bien* is redundant and sounds odd.

I’m very well, thanks for asking.
Tout va bien, merci !
Everything’s fine, thank you!
Ça roule, merci de demander.
All good, thanks for asking.
Cultural Tip
The word *super* is informal and very common among younger speakers. In a more formal setting you’d replace it with *très bien* or *excellent*. Also, the phrase *merci de demander* is polite but still casual; for a formal thank‑you you could say *merci de vous en enquérir* (rarely used in everyday speech).
