Bookmark or Share- is there any difference between "you'd" and "you would" in the meaning?You'd has two meanings, which are you had and you would. 1 We use you had with better and you would with rather. You had is usually used for suggestion. Example: You'd better (you had better) avoid the stalls on the street. So you'd means you had in your first sentence. Your second sentence is grammatically wrong.

- Difference between "How are you?" and "How are you doing?"You would say "How are you?" when you don't know the person very well, or when you meet someone for the first time, whereas you would say "How are you doing?" when you already know someone, or act as if you already knew them. So "How are you doing?" is more warmful but it can be felt as a little too friendly in a formal context.
- "What about you?" versus "How about you?" - English Language & Usage ...6. From my point of view, if the difference between what about and how about in general is slight, the difference between what about you and how about you is even slighter. They are certainly interchangeable, as you mentioned, but I would go so far as to say that their common usages are semantically indistinguishable.
