What are you doing? · What's your plan?
This is a super common and friendly way to ask someone what they're currently doing, or what their plans are for the immediate future (like for the rest of the day or evening). ✨ It's perfect for casual chats when you bump into someone or when you just want to check in!
💡 **Pro Tip!** 'What are you up to?' is very versatile. You can use it to ask about present activities ('What are you up to right now?') or near-future plans ('What are you up to this weekend?'). It's more direct than 'How are you?' but still very casual. Just make sure not to confuse it with 'What have you been up to?', which is for catching up with someone you haven't seen in a while! 🙅♀️
When would you most naturally use 'What are you up to?' A. When asking your boss about their long-term career goals. B. When you want to know what your friend is doing right now or planning for the next few hours. C. When inquiring about the history of a building.
