SHALL
๐ Shall is not used very much nowadays and mostly in formal speech and some legal documents. Originally Shall was used instead of Will in first person (with I and We) when talking about the future. Now almost everyone uses Will with all subjects.
๐ Nowadays, the most common use of shall in everyday English (although not in American English) is in questions that serve as offers or suggestions: "Shall I ...?" or "Shall we ...?"
Situations where Shall is still occasionally used:
1. Suggestion
โช๏ธ Shall I get a pizza for dinner tonight?
โช๏ธ Shall we take a taxi home?
2. Offers / Volunteering to do something
โช๏ธ That bag looks heavy. Shall I carry it for you?
โช๏ธ Shall I wait for you?
3. Instructions (asking for or giving)
โช๏ธ What shall I do with your mail when it arrives?
โช๏ธ I shall meet you there at 7.
4. Promises
โช๏ธ You shall be the first person to know. (= I promise that you will be the first person)
โช๏ธ I shall get you a new bike for your birthday.
5. Confirmation (Statement of Fact)
โช๏ธ I shall turn 30 next week.
โช๏ธ We shall know the results of the exam next week.
6. Formal written regulations and rules
โช๏ธ A record shall be kept of all students arriving late to class (= school regulations)
โช๏ธ Members of the board of directors shall be elected annually (= company regulations)
The Negative of Shall
๐ The negative of shall is shall not (= will not). The contraction of shall not is shan't (= won't). It is very rare to hear this used nowadays though you may find it written in older texts.
โช๏ธ I shan't let the children bother you.
Shall in Question Tags
๐ Shall is used in questions tags when the main verb is Let's.
โช๏ธ Let's go to the beach, shall we?
