WILL or SHALL? Where and when to use which?
WILL or SHALL? Where and when to use which? WILL is stronger than SHALL in Absolution status in the future case. Both can be used for all persons to mean a future occasion but absolution is taken by WILL more than SHALL. But some Grammarians say SHALL is for I and WE, and WILL is contracted by HE SHE and THEY. This rule need not be followed for common expression. Then why do they say this rule? While asking permission, only SHALL is used for I and WE. See here. SHALL I GO? SHALL WE START THE COUNTDOWN FOR LAUNCHING THE VESSEL? (Asking permission) WILL I GO? WILL WE START THE COUNTDOWN FOR LAUNCHING THE VESSEL? (Doubtful discussion) V.
