In America, people often invite friends for a meal, a party or just coffee. People often say like these, “Would you like to come over for dinner?” “We’re having a party on Friday, can you come?” To answer an invitation, the say “Thank you” and accept, or say “Sorry” and give a reason.

Sometimes, what people say is like invitations but which are not real invitations. For example, “Please come over for a drink sometime.” “Let’s get together for lunch soon.” They are not real invitations because they don’t talk about the date or time. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. People usually answer “Sure, that would be great.” or “OK, thank you.” So next time you hear what is like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?
