Oh, you’re giving me permission. Thank you. We use would + like a lot for offers. It’s very useful for different situations.
Would you like to come to our house for dinner?
Would you like some cake?
Would you like to celebrate Chinese New Year with us?
For more informal invitations you can use can + get. Get means buy in this context.
Can I get you a drink?
We also use would and can for offering to help someone.
Would you like some help?
Can I help you?
Can I give you a hand with that?
That sounds very strange, Can I give you a hand?.
It just means Can I help you?.
We also use modals for asking for something (making a request or asking permission).
Can you do me a favour? (more informal)
Could you say thanks to your mum for me? (more polite)
I’ve finished my homework. Can I go now? (more informal)
Could I speak to Amy, please? (more polite)
What’s the answer? Yes, you can. / No, you can’t.?
Not normally. Usually the positive answer is:
Yes, sure. / Yes, of course. / Certainly.
We also like to use longer structures in more formal situations:
Do you think you could do me a favour?
Would you mind closing the window, please?
Could you tell me how to get to the town centre, please?
