should= do you you think it's a good idea if...?
shall= lets...what do you think?
could= can we...?
- English (US)
"Should" is asking for an opinion, "could" is asking about the possibility.
- English (US)
Should- is almost like a suggestion- asking with a bit of hesitating/questioning OR simply just a suggestion.
Shall- is a more formal way of asking. (think of- "Shall we dance?")
Could- is similar to should. But it's more like asking for others' opinions.
An example of a more direct question would be- Wanna go out on Monday?
Haha these are just my opinions. Don't rely on them 100%.
