⚜ SHALL ⚜

'Shall' is not very frequently used in modern English; However, you still see people using 'Shall' here and there. In modern English, it is used to make an offer, to make sure something must definitely happen, or to ask for advice.

🔔 Example 🔔

➖When shall we meet?
➕Shall we dance?
➖Shall I read the book?
➕You shall not pass!
@AmEnglish
〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰
🔴 Older Usage 🔴

In older grammar, the correct way to use 'shall' was with first person pronouns (I and We), whereas 'will' was used with second and third person pronouns (you; he, she, it, they).

🔔 Example 🔔

➖I shall bring the kids.
➕We shall be in Japan.
➖You will go there.
➕They will have a good time.
@AmEnglish
〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰
🔺 Request 🔺

If you are to make a request, 'will' is used.

🔔 Example 🔔

🔵 Correct 🔵
➖Will you stop using the pen?
➕Buy me some sugar, will you?

🔴 Wrong 🔴
✖️Shall you stop yelling?
✖️Bring me tea, shall you?

🔉 As VS. Like 🔉

❓What is the difference between As and Like?

As and Like can be very confusing for many English learners. Today, I'm going to explain how they're different.

🔆 As 🔆
💮Proposition/Conjunction💮

👉 As may function as a preposition and is used when we talk about a job or function.

🔔 Example 🔔

💭 I work as a cook.
💭 He used my pen as a weapon.

👉 As may also be used as a conjunction meaning "In the same way that..."

🔔 Example 🔔

💭 She behaved as her teacher told her.
💭 Walk just as I do.
🆔 @AmEnglish
〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

🔆 Like 🔆
💮Proposition/Conjunction💮

👉 Like may be used as preposition meaning similar to. It is used to compare things.

🔔 Example 🔔

💭 He worked like a dog.
💭 She sings just like her mom.

👉 Like is often used in place of the subordinating conjunction "as, or as if".

🔔 Example 🔔

💭 They look like they've been fighting. = They look as if they've been fighting.
