WILL AND SHALL

Form
We use will with the infinitive form of a verb :
I/you/he/she/it will late

Ill late

We/you/they will late

theyll late

We prefer to use the contraction (ll) in conversations, particularly after I, you, etc
We put adverb like probably or still before the verb
Example : This will probably hurt a bit.

In negative we say :
I/you/he/she/it will not late

you wont late

We/you/they wil not late

we wont late

In question we put will before the subject


Example : Will you send his book next week?

Expectations
We use will for things that we expect to happen
Example : My mother will teach math.
We use wont for things that we expect to happen
Example : We wont buy their apple at that price. Its too high.
We often use will after expressions with think
Example : I think itll be an amazing day tomorrow.
Note : we usually avoid think + wont
Example : I dont think shell change her shoes. ( NOT I think he wont wait)

We often use will with a when or if clause; we dont use will in the when or if clause
Example : my friend will be excited when he knows the news
Your mark will increase if you study hard

Plans and intentions


We dont usually use will for plans or intentions
Example : Were watching THIS IS US tonight. ( NOT We will watch)
But we can use will for plans or intentions with be and after I think
Example : I think Ill go to the workshop tomorrow.

Promises and offer


We use will in promises and offers
Example : I dont want to study tonight. Dont worry. Ill study.

Shall
We dont usually use shall in statements, but we do use shall I or shall we (and not will) in
requests for advice
