Making offers
Can
The verb can is a modal verb that we use to talk about something and someone has the ability to do something.

But we also use it to ask or give permission, for example:

Would
When we're telling someone what we thought of the future since last time or when we refer to old habits.
For example
When I was a child, I thought we would have flying cars in the future.
Many times, I would be the first on stage.
Shall
The modal verb shall is an auxiliary verb that is used in the affirmative to ask for opinion on something. It is mainly used with personal pronouns 'I' (I) and 'we' (we). It also serves to form future time just like the 'will', and its short shapes or contractions are also the same. In the UK its use is more frequent and in general is more polite.
-
Want
Most uses of want involve the simple forms of the verb (want, wants, wanted). When we are talking about wishes or desires we can also use the continuous form (is wanting, was wanting, will be wanting).

How are offers used?
When we make an offer, we ask someone if they would like to receive anything from us or if they want us to do something for them. It is common to respond with yes, please or no thanks to the offer.

Offers and requests are a type of interrogative sentence that serves to make requests or offers to others in an educated way. Modal verbs are commonly used to form these sentences.
