| When would be convenient? | When are you free? |
| 2. SUGGESTING DATES/TIMES/PLACES | |
| Would Friday after dinner suit you? | How about Friday evening after dinner? |
| Shall we meet in the lobby at 7.00? | How about (meeting in) the lobby at 7.00? |
| Shall we say 8.30? | Would 8.30 be Ok? |
| Are you doing anything on Tuesday? | |
| 3. ACCEPTING AND REFUSING | |
| That suits me | That would be nice/fine (with me) |
| (I am afraid) I am not free. | (I am sorry) I can’t make it then. |
| (I am afraid) I have another engagement. | (I am sorry) I’ve got something else on. |
| 4. CONFIRMING | |
| So that’s 7o’clock on Wednesday then | See you on Thursday, then |
