In school, how do you call your teachers? I mean do you use their last names with Mr. or something? like How are you, Mr. Brown? or just you just call them "Teacher", like " How are you, Teacher?"

Thank you.

In general, it is Mr. [last name] for male teachers, Mrs. [last name] for married female teachers, and Miss. [last name] for unmarried female teachers. Ms. [last name] works for any female teacher, and is often used if you don't know if she's married or not. That's for all ages/grades. Some young kids will call their teacher "Teacher", but that usually stops when they get older. From my experience, kids stop calling them "Teacher" by middle school (6th grade and up). It is usually considered rude for students to call teachers by their first name. Teachers usually tell their students at the beginning of the semester what they prefer to be called. Some teachers (though not commonly) are okay with students calling them by their first name.

When you get into college (I don't know about universities, but I imagine they are similar), teachers are called instructors. Instructors will also tell you what they prefer to be called on the first day of class. The Mr./Mrs./Miss/Ms. [last name] still applies, but some instructors have a PhD, and are called "Dr." Some of those instructors don't like to be called "Mr./Mrs./Miss/Ms", and some of them don't care. Some are fine with students calling them by their first name. Sometimes students and instructors get closer, or even become friends, and in those cases, students usually call them by first name, or even a nickname. When talking about them to other people, students often refer to them by last name.
