-(으)ㄹ까요?, shall we?

Pattern

[stem] + ㄹ까요 / 을까요?

-(으)ㄹ까요? asks for the listener's view. With 'we' understood it means 'shall we?': 같이 갈까요? With 'I' understood it is an offer: 창문을 열까요? 'shall I open the window?'. After a vowel or ㄹ it is ㄹ까요 (열까요), after other consonants 을까요.

The mistake to avoid

The answer does not repeat -ㄹ까요. Reply 네, 좋아요 or 네, 가요, not 네, 갈까요.
