—Usage note The traditional rule of usage guides dates from the 17th century and says that to denote future time shall is used in the first person (I shall leave. We shall go) and will in all other persons (You will be there, won't you? He will drive us to the airport. They will not be at the meeting). The rule continues that to express determination, will is used in the first person (We will win the battle) and shall in the other two persons (You shall not bully us. They shall not pass). Whether this rule was ever widely observed is doubtful. Today, will is used overwhelmingly in all three persons and in all types of speech and writing both for the simple future and to express determination. Shall has some use in all persons, chiefly in formal writing or speaking, to express determination: I shall return. We shall overcome. Shall also occurs in the language of laws and directives: All visitors shall observe posted regulations. Most educated native users of American English do not follow the textbook rule in making a choice between shall and will.

Answer 4

Within conventional usage, it pretty much means the same as "will". Within a legal document, e.g. a labour contract, it contains much more force than "will", denotes a sense of legal compulsion, the referred to action or process not only must take place, but cannot not take place.

Answer 5

Shall and will are future tenses, and are use to indicate something that is to happen in the future. For example, He will be be promoted Tuesday. They shall be forced into submission.

Answer 6

Just like 'will' but kind of archaic in America.
I shall walk upon the beach.

Answer 7

Shall can be said as "you are willing but there is least certain possibility whether you might be able to do it"

Answer 8

I shall emigrate to another country.

Answer 9

For first person(singular/plural), it expresses simple futurity, i.e. what to do in future, e.g. I/we shall travel tomorrow

For second/third person(singular/plural), it expresses a determination, command, prohibition, e.g. you shall repay me tomorrow.

Answer 10
