职场美语

Are you free to join us for dinner tomorrow?

明晚有空来我们家吃晚饭吗？

You are inviting me to your house?

你是在邀请我去你家吗？

Sure.

当然。

重点讲解:

Do you have free time to have dinner with us tomorrow?

Are you free to join us for dinner tomorrow?

Be free指是否有空，询问对方是否有空时，可以不用have free time,而直接用Are you free to do sth.?
