JBP Vol. 1/ Lesson 15
Grammar Note and Drills
Inviting Someone to Do Something
verb + ませんか
The 「verb + ませんか」pattern is used to invite someone to do something. You can
use the「verb + ませんか」(= the present tense negative verb, plus the question particle
か ) to extend an invitation. It should be noted that its affirmative counterpart, ますか ,
cannot be so used. Thus a sentence like 「あさくさに いきますか。」can only be
construed as a question, not as an invitation.

masen ka
Yes, let s go.
ええ/はい、 いきましょう。

Appropriate replies for the invitation are as follows.
1. Acceptance :
a.
b.
Yes, let s [verb].
ええ/はい、 *verb stem + ましょう。
e e / h a i m a s h o u
*verb stem = remove ます
from the ます form verb

ええ/はい、 ぜひ。

2. Refusal :
I m sorry, but it wouldn t be convenient (for me at this moment).
ざんねんですが、 つごうが わるいです。

Then once you are almost certain of your listener s intention and there is already
a situation or a context where something is expected, 「verb stem + ましょうか」
(= the acceptance reply of let s [verb] , plus the question particle か ) is used.
Shall we [verb]?
verb stem + ましょうか。
