Question

Why we say good night before going to sleep?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

According to what I was taught in teacher training college, the expression “Good night!” should only be used when you think you are not going to see or talk to the addressee again in the said day.

So, when in the evening, you should say “Good evening!” when arriving, and “Good night!” when leaving, no matter what the time is. And no matter whether you are going to bed or doing any other activities afterwards.

I think some native speakers may disagree with me, and I am open to learn more about every aspect of the English language in everyday use.

Note: Maneeshh, you should have written “Good night!” in your question. Remember to always use the correct punctuation in questions like this one. Even though the answerers can understand what you mean, using the right punctuation marks in the social media will help you remember to use them when writing more formal papers.

Hope it helps you!
