If a French speaker has invited to you to attend a special event or party, and you would like to respond to her invitation in French, there are several key phrases you could use to either accept or decline the invitation.
Instructions
1. Say, "Avec plaisir" to tell someone that you would love to go to the event or party that he invited to you to attend. You can also say, "D'accord," which means "OK" if you're speaking to a close friend or if you'd like to accept the invitation in a less formal manner.
2. Respond by saying, "Peut-etre," if you want to say, "Maybe." If you're not sure yet if you can make it, you can also answer, "Je ne sais pas encore," which means, "I don't know yet."
3. Answer, "Je ne peux pas" to say that you can't come. To make it more polite, add, "Je suis desole," which means, "I'm sorry," to your response.
4. Tell the person who invited you, "Je suis desole, mais j'ai deja quelque chose de prevu" to tell her, "I'm sorry, but I already have something going on."
