Different Uses of "like"

Polite Offers and Requests

We usually use would like in restaurants or when offering or requesting something:

Question	would	Subject	like			Subject	would like	Answer
What	would	you	like	to drink?	⇒	I	would like	a coffee, please.
What	would	you	like	to eat?	⇒	We	would like	the pie, please.

We can contract would to 'd for answers:

Would	Contraction
would	'd

Subject + 'd	like	Answer
I'd	like	a soda, please.
We'd	like	the chicken, please.
