Here's a sentence:
I have come to you to invite you to a ride.
Is it correct? It somehow jars on my ear. Here's another:
Yesterday Phyllis came to me and we had a nice chat.
Should it be
...came to see me...
...came to my place...
Please give your opinion.
TIA
Hi. why don't you use very simple sentence. I think it's easier to say: How about going on a ride. Or : Let's go on a ride. without saying I have come/ I come. I hope I'll be right.
It's correct, but I agree with Aliaa; it sounds too formal for a casual invitation. If you're inviting the Queen, use it, but if it's a friend, use one how about/let's/shall we/ why don't we
Thanks!
Actually, I could find many ways to expess the idea. What puzzles me is people as an object after come, go. AFAIK, go/ come to smb means to address smb for help, money etc. Am I right?
I find the above I have come to invite... the best.
come to me
