Common mistakes
She felt inviting to the party.She felt invited to the party.
inviting 是形容词，意为“诱人的、吸引人的”；若要表达“被邀请的”，应用过去分词 invited。说 She felt inviting 会被理解为“她觉得自己很有吸引力”，而不是“她感到被邀请”。
The host was very inviting.The host was very welcoming.
inviting 虽然可以形容事物“诱人”，但不能表示人“热情好客”；表达“好客的”应用 welcoming。若指主人的态度，用 inviting 会让读者误解为“有吸引力的”。

inviting 是形容词，不作名词用；“邀请”的名词形式是 invitation，而不是 inviting。这是动词 invite 名词化时的拼写变化。
