MAKING OFFERS                             FURTHER EXAMPLES
         “Can” and “may” can also be used to offer
         to do something for someone.




















                     “May” is only used for
                     formal situations.



















                 SHALL FOR OFFERS AND SUGGESTIONS
         “Shall” is used to find out if someone thinks a certain
         suggestion is a good idea. This is not often used in US English.




















                                                                                                     157
