　　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?

In Canada and the United States, people enjoy entertaining at home. They often invite friends over for a meal, a party, or just for coffee and conversation.

    Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their home:

    "Would you like to come over for dinner Saturday night?"

    "Hey, we're having a party on Friday. Can you come?"

    To reply to an invitation, either say thank you and accept, or say you're sorry and give an excuse:

"Thanks. I′d love to. What time would you like me to come?" or "Oh sorry,

I′ve tickets for a movie."

    Sometimes, however, people use expressions that sound like invitations but which are not real invitations. For example:

    "Why not get together for a party sometime?"

    "Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon?"

They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To reply to expressions like these, people just say "Sure, that would be great!" or "OK. Yes, thanks."
