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 a 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:
“Please come over for a drink sometime.”
“Why not get together for a party sometime?”
“Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon?”
They are really just polite ways of ending a conversation.They are not real invitations because they
don't mention a specific(确定的)time or date.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.”

the person just being friendly?
