Hi or Hello?

how do you find Paris? or how do you feel about Paris? which sentence is correct.

what are the timings for greeting for good morning/good evening/after noon and good night?

We say "good morning" at any time in the morning from when we wake up until about lunchtime. We'd say "good afternoon" at any time in the afternoon after lunch, until about 6pm. After that we'd use "good evening". We use "good night" when we are saying good bye to a person who we won't see again until the morning. So you either use it to someone before you go to bed, or you say it to someone you are leaving in the evening.

Respond to: "good night"

You can say "Good night" to respond. When we say good night to our children, we also say "Sleep tight", which means "sleep well".

Yes, it is, if you are referring to the rest of the evening or the morning.
