Use of "treat to"
Hi
I talked about these sentences in a previous thread in which I used the word stand. The variety of answers was almost a full lesson on stand.
Do these sentences sound completely natural now?
[children to their father]
If we came with you, would you treat us to a Subway burger on the way?
[man to his friend on a lighter note]
A- John, why don't you treat me to lunch today?
B - Why not brother? Any time.
Thanks,
Tom
