In Canada and the United States, people enjoy entertaining(请客) at home. They often invite friends over for a meal, a party, or just for conversation.
Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their home.
"Would you like to come over for dinner this Saturday night?"
"Hey, we're having a dinner on Friday. Can you come?"
To reply to an invitation, either say thank you and accept(接受), or say you' re sorry and give an excuse: "Thanks, I'd love to. What time would you like us to come?" or "Oh, sorry, I've tickets for a film."
Sometimes, however, people use expressions that sound like invitations but they are not real invitations, such as, "Please come over for a drink sometime." or "Why don't you come over and see us sometime?"
