26、系动词是are,说明这个倒装句的主语是复数形式,所以使用kinds。3are having/will have考查时态。本句的时间状语是“on Friday”,这是一个将来时的时间状语,所以使用一般将来时或者使用进行时代替将来时。4To reply考查不定式。本句中不定式在句中充当目的状语,意为“为了回复一份邀请”。5or考查连词。本句中or表示选择,你可以表示同意,也可以表示反对。句意:你可以说:多谢,我会的。你想我什么时候过来?或者说:对不起,我要去看电影。6expressions考查词形转化。根据文意可知,空格后面的 “that sound like invitations but wh
