go to attend

[joham]

--Will you go to attend Jack's birthday party?
--No, _______.
A. unless invited to B. even if invited to C. even though invited to

1. Is this question well-worded? To my understanding, attend means go to, so we need only say 'attend' . And if we are asking if the other person intends to attend the party, we should ask 'Will you be attending Jack's birthday party?' Am I right?

2. Do all three answers work well for the sentence, only different in meaning?

3. I thought the 'to' in the answers is not necessary. Am I rigth?

Thank you in advance.

1. "Will you attend" or "will you be attending" would be correct. The phrasing in the original is not.

2. These would be correct forms:

• "No, unless I was invited."
• "No, even if I was invited."
• "No, even though I was invited."

3. The "to" is unnecessary.
