    Default the answers to a question

    "Do you want to go to a theme park with me tommorrow?"

    'Sorry but I have something to do tommorrow."

    Does this answer(the way I word it) sound strange to native speakers' ears?

    Thanks!

    First, note the correct spelling of "tomorrow".
    Second, your answer is OK. You will probably hear "Sorry, I'm [already] doing something else tomorrow" or "Thanks, but I'm busy tomorrow" more often.

    Remember - correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing make posts much easier to read.
