Useful language
(Agreed stuff) Who's doing this/that? Who's getting that?
(Spontaneous offering) I'll be in charge of. I'll do that .
(Plan/Intentions) So I'm going to . and you're going to. Is that right?
(Asking for info) Who knows how to fix things? Are you a handy person? What do we need to get/buy to clean this place? What's our budget? What do you feel like having for lunch?
(Asking for help) Could you help me move this box? Can you give me a hand in taking this box to my room?
(Making suggestions/advice) We should call the landperson for that.

More practice!
