Would

The most common way to make an offer in English is to use the verb would. Here is the structure:

Would + You + Like + Noun

Examples:
  Would you like a drink?
 Would you like some help?
 Would you like more coffee?

Invitations

You can also use this structure to make an invitation, which is a different type of offer. Use this
structure:

Would + You + Like + Infinitive Verb (To + Verb)

Examples:

 Would you like to go to the movie theatre tonight?

 Would you like to watch television with me?
 Would you like to meet next week?

Answers

To answer offers, you can also use would.

 Yes, I would. 

There are many other less formal ways to accept and offer:

 Sure. That sounds great!

 Yes, please.
 That would be nice, thank you.
 Yes, that would be great.

To decline an offer, you can use would:

 No, I would not.

But, this is often too rude. It is better to say something like these examples:

 No, thank you.

 I am OK, thanks.
 I’m fine, thanks.

Can

You can also make an offer using can. This is less formal than using would. The structure looks like
this:

Can + I + Base Verb + Object (You)

Examples:

 Can I help you?

 Can I bring you a drink?

These requests are normally for small things.
