Modal Verbs: Can, Could, and Shall
Can I open the window?
= Do I have your permission to open the window?
Will you permit me to open the window?
Is it all right (with you) if I open the window?
Do you mind if I open the window?
Could I open the window?
= Can I open the window?
Shall I open the window?
= Would you like me to open the window?
Do you want me to open the window?
(Also, Should I open the window?)
In these sentences, "can" and "could" are being used a substitutes for "may", i.e you are asking permission. "Shall" on the other hand is being used, not to ask permission, but to get another person's opinion
Note: In American English, shall is hardly used at all except as shown above in a first-person question, and even here, the paraphrases shown are often used instead. You can live your whole life in the U.S. without ever saying shall.

Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet.
And so are you!
-Anonymous
Make your own ''Roses are red'' Valentine's Day poem! To start, think of different colors and words that rhyme with that color. Make a list on a piece of paper.
Ex. Black - snack, Green - mean, Red - head, Blue - new...
What color did you pick out of your own list? Think of something that is that color. After writing ''Roses are red'' write a line using the color that you chose. Here is an example:
Roses are red.
Olives are green.
Now think of a third line for your poem.
Roses are red.
Olives are green.
Be my Valentine.
Finally, write a line using the word that rhymes with your color. My color is green so my word is ''mean.'' My finished poem looks like this:
Roses are red.
Olives are green.
Be my Valentine.
Don't be mean!
What does your finished poem look like?
