TEFL Videos - Invite vs Invitation - English Grammar - Teaching Tips
This mistake is so common that many accept is as an alternative. However, you should avoid it if you want to speak English properly. Let's take a closer look: "Invite" is a verb and refers to asking someone if they'd like to do something or go somewhere. For example: I want to invite all my friends to a BBQ party. "Invitation", on the other hand, is a noun and refers to the actual message asking someone if they'd like to do something or go somewhere. For example: I sent out an invitation to all my friends. What people often do is using 'invite' as a noun. The sentence 'I haven't responded to her invite yet.' is therefore incorrect. I hope this clears up any confusion. That?s it for today. See you next time!
