invite后面的to既可以是介词to,也有是不定式to情况对吗?
We have been invited to the dinner this Friday. 此处的to就是介词。
They invite us to dine this Friday.此处的to为不定式。
那么问题是,invite后的to只有invite用于被动语态的时候才是介词吗?(目前找不到关于主动语态invite后to是介词的权威例句)
invite后的to只有接上宾语后,构成invite sb to do才是不定式吗?是否只有两种情况呢?
invite sb (to/for sth) =invite sb to do sth?
invite后to是介词的例句:

invite sb. to (invite的主动式):I invited them to dinner [the party].我邀请他们吃晚餐[参加晚会]。(《英汉多功能词典》新编升级版p.891)
invite后to是动词不定式符号的例句:

invite sb. to (invite的主动式): They have invited me to go to Paris with them . 他们邀请我和他们一同去巴黎。(《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》第9版p.1152)
