AV-(으)ㄹ까요? Inquring the opinion of the listener

This ending is used by the speaker to inquire the opinion of the listener regarding an action that is yet to be determined.

When the subject is the 1st person singular, this ending is used to require the opinion of the listener regarding a possible future action of the speaker.

When the subject is 1st plural, this ending serves to express the suggestion that the speaker and the listener take a certain action together.

Therefore when the subject is the 1st person singular, the listener may respond with (으)세요, thereby expressing permission or making a request. When the subject is 1st person plural, the listener may respond with (으)ㅂ시다, thereby agreeing with the suggestion, i.e. "Let's.."

제가 할까요?
제가 문을 닫을까요?

When the subject of a sentence is older than the speaker (or higher in social status) (으)시 + 어요 produces (으)세요. (으)시 is the honorific pre-final ending and 어요 is the verb ending. According to the intonation of (으)세요, it could be a statement, or a question or a request.
