In Spanish it's very common to make suggestions using El Presente, similar to the same way English uses "Shall I...", "Shall we...?"
Let's see some examples:
These suggestions are only made by the speaker to themselves or to their own group, like in English, we only use it in the first person singular or plural: Shall I...? Shall we...?
You may be tempted to use the future tense, as shall is an indication of the future; remember not to use it:
- Carlos, ¿vamos al cine?
- Carlos, ¿iremos al cine?
- ¿Salgo a cantar?
- ¿Saldré a cantar?
