ā SHALL ā
'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.
š Example š
āWhen shall we meet?
āShall we dance?
āShall I read the book?
āYou shall not pass!
ć°ć°ć°ć°ć°ć°ć°ć°
š“ Older Usage š“
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).
š Example š
āI shall bring the kids.
āWe shall be in Japan.
āYou will go there.
āThey will have a good time.
ć°ć°ć°ć°ć°ć°ć°ć°
šŗ Request šŗ
If you are to make a request, 'will' is used.
š Example š

āBuy me some sugar, will you?
š“ Wrong š“
āļøShall you stop yelling?
āļøBring me tea, shall you?
