Was invited/have been invited
Hello!
I was in an argument whether I should use was invited, have been invited or both are correct.
The sentence is: "I can't go out with you because I ___(invited) to a birthday party." I know have been invited is correct, but is was invited also correct?
Thanks in advance!
