I often hear people say:

“I’ll go dinner now.”

Is this correct?

2

No

I’ll go to dinner now.
I’ll go and have dinner now.
I’ll have dinner now.

3

Thanks.

4

Thanks.

5

I’ll go out to dinner
is the more usual expression.

What I often hear is a similar issue:
(1) I’ve invited them for dinner.
(2) I’ve invited them to dinner.

Which means what? Any difference? Maybe the second sentence has
a locational sense because of TO (going somewhere to eat & not
eating at home), but what about the first one? :slight_smile: Is it OK?

Both are fine and are usually interchangeable. The second doesn’t have to indicate a change of location.
I’ve invited them for dinner - here or at a restaurant, etc.
I’ve invited them to dinner - here or at a restaurant, etc.
