Routines, screen time and earning money, sentence 15

You reply to a party invitation by the date asked (invitations often say «RSVP», which means please reply), because the host needs to know how many are coming.

Who acts: You, invitations, host, many, date · What happens: reply, ask, say, mean, need, know · To what, where: date, RSVP · Speech: someone speaks here
