In the United States, people like inviting their friends to their home for a meal, a party, or often just for coffee and conversation. Americans think it friendlier than to take them to a restaurant. Here are what Americans often say when they invite someone to their home.
“Would you like to come for dinner on Friday night?”
“We are going to have a party on Friday night. Would you like to come?”
Replies are “Thanks, I'd love to. What time?” or “I'm sorry. I'd love to, but I'm going to play tennis with John.” By the way, if the invitation is made with “Will you come?” or “Would you like to come?” It is not polite to say “No, I won't.” or “No, I wouldn't.”
Sometimes Americans use some expressions that sound like invitations, but they are not real ones. For example, “Please come over f~ a cup of coffee sometime.”
“Let's go out for a dinner one of these days.” “Why don't you come and see us sometime soon?”
These are usually just polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don't tell you a specific day or time. These expressions only mean the man is trying to be friendly and the answers to the expressions are “OK, yes, thank you.” or “Yes, that would be great.”
So next time you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the man just being friendly?
