Grammar In Use

Modals Will and Shall

Will and shall are modal verbs. They are used with the base form of the main verb. Will is used for affirmative and
negative sentences about the future. It is also used for requests too. Shall is only used for future time reference with I
and we, and is more formal than will.

The structure:

Subject + auxiliary verb (will/shall) + Main verb (V-1)

In speaking, the subject and auxiliary verb are often contracted: I’ll, you’ll, he’ll, she’ll, it’ll, we’ll, they’ll. For negative
sentences, we contract with won’t.

The contraction form of shall not is ‘shan't. It generally use in spoken English, but rarely in its written form.

1. Will
Will is used for the following situation.
a. There is no plan or decision to do something before we speak. We make the decision spontaneously at the time
of speaking.
Example:
Wait a minute! I’ll get a piece of paper.
The verb to think is often used before will.
Example:
I think I’ll visit the museum tomorrow.

b. To make prediction about the future. Again, there is no firm plan. We are saying what we think will happen.
Example:
It will rain tomorrow.

c. The main verb is be; we can use will even if we have a firm plan or decision before speaking or at the moment
of speaking.
Example:
I’ll be in Bandung next week.
I’ll have the chicken soup, please.
