"Should I ~?" and "Shall I ~?"
Hello everyone,
What is the difference between "Should I ~?" and "Shall I ~?"
E.g.
If a blind elderly person was trying to cross the street, what would you tell him?
"Should I hold your bag?"
Or
"Shall I hold your bag?"
Thank you so much for reading, everyone.
I will be so grateful for any help you can provide.

Shall. Using shall is like asking "May I?" or like asking, "will you allow me to....?" Shall I put milk in your tea? Shall I get our coats? Or as a statement of something that you will do in the future: It can actually be replaced by the verb "will": I shall take care of it right away. I shall be in Egypt at that time.
Should is used much like the word "must." I should run 3 miles today. I should call him. I should go to the grocery store before I cook. Or if you are asking if something is appropriate: Should I tell her what to bring to the party? Should I eat this cake? Should I ask so many questions? Haha! Does this make sense?

Simpler:
Shall I? = May I?
Should I? = Must I?
