How would you use the word invited in a sentence as an adjective?

You can't use "invited" as an adjective. It is a past participle of the verb "invite," and while past participles can sometimes function as adjectives, "invited" doesn't really work in that way.

Here's why:

* Invited usually describes the state of being asked or requested to attend something.

* It's more commonly used to describe the person or thing being invited, rather than the invitation itself.

For example:

* Incorrect: "The invited was sent to the guests."

* Correct: "The invitations were sent to the guests."

Instead of using "invited" as an adjective, you could use:

* Invited: "The invited guests arrived at the party."

* Formal: "The event had a formal atmosphere."

* Exclusive: "The party was an exclusive gathering."
