How to make offers in english?

It is common that english speakers make offers in conversations in order to be polite and helpful. When they do so they use these expressions:

Can i… ?
Shall i… ?
Would you like … ?
How about ...?

Making Offers:

Can	I	Help you?
Shall		Get you some juice?
Would you like		Aglass of water ?
How about		Some pizza?

Examples:

• "can i help you?"
• "shall i open the window for you?"
• "would you like another cup of coffee?"
• "would you like me to clean the board?"
• "how about a juice? "

Remember:

• Shall, can and will are followed by the verb without to.
  Example:
  "can i help you?"
  "shall i bring you the mobile phone?
• Shall is more formal than can.
• Would you like… is followed either by a noun, or by the verb with to.
  Example:
  "would you like some tea ?"
  "would you like to drink some coffee?
