✔ 最佳答案
d. Are you

That is because person A mentioned that he/she IS GOING TO invite Louise over for dinner tonight, and asked person B "if you fancy it?"

Then the reply from person B would be Are you? (referring to the statement that person A IS GOING TO invite Louise over for dinner, which is a plan going to be carried out, kind of future continuous tense)

Quote:
IMPORTANT

In the Simple Future a specific time is used to show the time an action will begin. In the Future Continuous, a specific time only interrupts the action.

EXAMPLES:

Tonight at 6 p.m., I am going to eat dinner.
I am going to start eating at 6 p.m.


Hopefully a few things are clarified here.

Will you

Louise has not yet been invited. Future tense should be used.

c. Do you

simple past tense can be use for future that you have decided or you have arranged to do something.

I am going to invite Louise over for dinner tonnight, if you fance it?
Do you? That would be lovely - what time?

NOT will you
will you = you want to do something,but haven't arranged it.

a

'I am going to invite Louise over for dinner tonnight'
Because this sentence is talking about what will do tonight
