Accepting and rejecting invitations_Upper Intermediate

Which of these activities do you like to do with friends? Do you usually invite them to do things, or do they usually invite you?

When a friend invites you to do something, what can you say to accept the invitation? How about when you want to turn down the invitation?

  • Would you say the same things to a business contact?

Did you use any of these phrases to respond to a friend's invitation? Can you think of any more responses?

  • Thanks, I'd love to.

  • Thank you, I'd be honored.

  • I'll have to take a rain check.

  • That's really nice of you, but I've made other plans.

  • Which of these phrases are appropriate in a more formal setting?

Decide if each invitation comes from a friend or a colleague.

  • Since you're only in town for the conference, would you like to join me for dinner tonight?

  • I was thinking of going shopping this weekend. Want to come?

  • Would you like to come out dancing tonight?

  • I'm going to a networking event this weekend. Would you like to join me?

  • Give an appropriate response to each invitation.
