To ask how someone is:
Ça va? (Sa va)

When saying "Ça va?" your voice will always raise at the end, as it is a question that is used the same way as a statement.
To reply to:
Ça va?- One can simply say "Oui, ça va." (Yes, I'm fine) *wee sa va*
OR
Ça va..
Bien- well (byan)
Très bien- very well (tray byan)

There are three ways of translating a French verb.

Two: As the present participle e.g. Je vais- I am going
Three: Putting "do" before the verb, e.g. Je porte- I do wear
