Dinner is ready!

We invited friends to dinner.

After dinner they sat and talked.
The meals name themselves by the clock: in the morning, at midday, in the evening. No dinner-tea-supper class warfare, no wondering whether "dinner" means noon or night - the compound tells you when you eat it. The verb versions follow for free: is to have dinner, as in , we had dinner together.
