Answer 1

Would you be so kind as to post your answer first?

---

Here's my two-cents:

Not A

a) Do you know if are they going to come for dinner?

The "are" is out of place.

c) Do they know if dinner are going to come for you?

Not C, I hope dinner doesn't come after me.

d) Are they going to know if you do come for dinner?

I guess this makes sense, but it's not very well-written.

b) Do you know if they are going to come for dinner?

I'd said B. This is perfect.

Nice answer Sonrisa, the only problem is "would you be so kind as to" is a very advanced sentence and he posted his question in Spanish so he´s probably a beginner. - rabbitwho, Jan 15, 2012
