Is There a Plan to Meet?

Someone says,"You must come over sometime!" Do they want you to visit? They may be happy to see you again, but there may be no plan yet.

A day, a time and a place help. Dinner at someone's home on Saturday at six is easier to plan. You can say yes or explain why you cannot come.

But good friends and family may not need all this information. They may know when the other person is usually at home and free.

Some people are happy when friends come without asking first. Others want to choose a time first, perhaps because they work or are very busy. People on the same street can be different too.

You can say,"I'd like that. Is there a good day?" Then you can find out if the person wants to make a plan now.

Think about the words, how well you know the person, and what is happening. These things help you understand.
