February 2014 Well, I have two theories about "shall" 1- Normally "shall" it use for to make a suggestion example "shall we stay at home tonight?" or "shall we go on holiday next week?" do you understand? 2- People (who speak english) don't use anymore "shall" a friend of mine said that it's very rare use it because now it's a old word (like British word) so it's a little rare use it. Hope that helps |
kanenassFebruary 2014 These are two examples that might help you clarify the difference between them I shall drown; no one will save me! (expresses the expectation of drowning, simple expression of future occurrence) I will drown; no one shall save me! (expresses suicidal intent: first-person will for desire, third-person shall for "command")
wwilcoFebruary 2014 The other comments are right on about it's definition. It's a word that isn't used too much in conversation. It sounds a little formal or even pretentious. It is seen in a lot of books so it's a good word to know, just not to say. |
zakmaherFebruary 2014 Shall is the same meaning of should , but it is used for asking a question , ..... Ex. Shall I do this |
