INVITATION (WRITTEN)

An invitation letter is always more personal than a printed card. An invitation letter can be used for both business as well as personal use. It could be a job invitation letter or an invitation letter for a business event. An example of a personal invitation letter would be an invitation for a Christmas party or an invitation for a wedding. It is important to give the time, date and venue of the event or party for which you are inviting. It is also preferable to give a RSVP contact, so that you can be informed of the confirmation or regret in relation to the attendance.

PREPOSITION "IN, ON, AT"

The prepositions in, on, and at can be used to indicate time and place


PASSIVE VOICE

The passive voice is used when focusing on the person or thing affected by an action. The passive voice is less usual than the active voice. The active voice is the "normal" voice. But sometimes we need the passive voice. In this lesson we look at how to construct the passive voice, when to use it and how to conjugate it.

SIMPLE FUTURE TENSE

We use the simple future tense to talk about things that will happen at a time later than now.



Simple Future has two different forms in English: "will" and "be going to." Although the two forms can sometimes be used interchangeably, they often express two very different meanings. These different meanings might seem too abstract at first, but with time and practice, the differences will become clear. Both "will" and "be going to" refer to a specific time in the future. In some situations, like when you're making a prediction about the future, you can use either be going to or will. But to talk about something that's already planned or decided, it's best to use be going to.

Examples :
I'm going to play cards with my buddies.
I'm gonna eat dinner at a fancy restaurant.
I will finish my homework in an hour.
