I was giving myself a bit of practice by writing a short email to a
friend in Japanese. I was going to ask him "Do you want to come over
to my house today?" but I didn't get very far.

I looked in the "Subjective Feelings" section of Japanese
Step-by-Step, and came up with a basic building block: (subject)
(noun)-ga (adjective)-desu. However, I was not sure how to use an
"unconjugated" verb (mairu, in this case, I assume) along with
"watashi-no ie" in this sentence structure. I briefly looked in the
section on "-ga" but did not find anything. I also looked around on
Google a bit, with no luck.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you very much!
