HSG8/ MH/ 09-10/ Trang 1/5


 

 

   “Would you like to come for dinner on Saturday?” Or “We are having a party on Friday. Can you come?”

Replies are: “Thanks, we’d love to. What time?” or “I’m sorry. We’d love to but we have tickets for a concert”

Sometimes the British use expressions that sound like invitations but which are not real invitations, for example: “You must come over for a drink sometime.”, “Let’s go out for a meal one of these days”. These are just polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don’t mention a specific time or day. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly and the answers to these expressions are: “Yes, that would be nice.” Or “OK, yes, thanks”.

So next time you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. It is a real invitation or is the person just being friendly.
