Cultural awareness
There are ways be more polite in offering to
do something. To soften the offers, we can
use perhaps and maybe with modal could
and should, as well as I think:
Maybe we could go together to the party.
Perhaps we should go inside.
I think we should go over the proposal once more.

We may use could rather than should in a formal


situation, because you will sound as if youre proposing a
good idea, rather than giving advice.
Lets practice!
