Getting to Know English / Re: Plugging the Gaps in Our English, Part 1

Hello, Sir Joe!

Greetings with all due respect!

Thank you very much indeed for giving me a chance to learn more about the romance of the English language and be a part of your forum.

Is it correct to say, " Be careful in driving or drive carefully"? Which sentences are grammatically acceptable, Drive carefully, be careful in driving, drive cautiously, be cautious in driving? I would prefer to use "Be cautious in driving or drive cautiously. I am also confused about "Hi" and "Hello." Because my girlfriend attended a seminar on English proficiency and she told to me that one of the speakers said that "Hi is for Hi and Hello is for Hello." I am puzzled because I used to answer "Hi" to the person who greeted me "Hello." Please, help me out in understanding the rules in grammar which govern these sentences.

Thank you very much and more power.


Very respectfully yours,
Reagan
