| 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 |

| To the best of my knowledge....I guess the following should be right. I have come to invite you to a ride. Yesterday Phyllis came to my place/came to see me and we had a nice chat. Athikh |

| 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. |

| AFAIK, go/ come to smb means to address smb for help, money etc. Am I right? I would generally agree- the preposition suggests a purpose. |
