The Power of the Accent
The accent on the 'é' is vital. It tells you the action is finished and happened in the past. Without it, 'invite' is used for wishes or suggestions.
The 'Personal A'
When you invite a specific person, you must put 'a' before their name. For example: 'Invité a Juan' (I invited Juan).
Confusing 'Invite' and 'Invité'
Mistake: “Using 'invite' to mean 'I invited'.”
Correction: Use 'invité' with the accent for the past. 'Invite' (no accent) is for things like 'I hope he invites me'.
