If a given plane has four engines, they are all used and needed to carry out a normal flight. It is absolutely uncommon to shut down engines inflight.
On the ground at taxi-in or taxi-out, one or two engines can be shut down to save some fuel.
A four engined aircraft can actually fly on only two engines in some cases (though only if the other engines have failed)
