¿WHEN DO USE WILL AND SHALL?

They will and Shall function as modal verbs, which areauxiliary verbs which help
us convey the meaning of sentences.
WILL

Expresses the future with going to, another way ofexpressing the future is using
the modal verb: 'will'. Thefuture 'Will' (or 'Will' Future) is used to make predictio
ns forthe future, i.e., to discuss a future not planned or uncertain.

How is it used?

1) ‘Will' has a use in common with 'going to'. Both forms areused for
predictions of the future.

The difference is that 'going to' is used to predict the nearfuture in relation to
the situation in which we live:

 They’re going to win. They’ve scored 5 goals – Van a ganar, han


marcado 5 goles.
 He’s going to be the next major. Everybody likes him – Va a ser el
próximo alcalde. Le gusta a todo el mundo.

However, we use 'will' when our prediction is not based onwhat is happening, if
not in our beliefs. We can say that thesepredictions are more subjective, while
the formed with 'goingto' are more objective.

 I will pass the exams (contracción: I’ll pass the exams). I’ve studied a
lot – Aprobaré los exámenes. He estudiado mucho.
 She will (Contracción: She’ll) do it. I know her – Lo hará, la conozco.

2) When you give yourself to do something, you also use 'will'.


 Wait, I’ll help you to carry the box. – Espera, te ayudo a cargar con la
caja.
 I’ll wash the dishes – Yo friego los platos.

3) When we decided to do something at the same time that weare also


talking about the future with 'will' we use.

 I’ll call you tomorrow – Te llamo mañana.


 Look! The alarm clock is broken. I’ll buy one later — ¡Mira! La alarma se
ha roto. Compraré una más tarde.
4) The promises we also express with 'will'.

 I’ll be on time, I promise – Llegaré a tiempo, lo prometo.


 I won’t tell anybody – No se lo contaré a nadie.

SHALL

Shall is used as will, but its use is much more educated, sowe can find it in any
expression in which we should go to aperson who does not know, a superior, a
person of an oficial..establishment, etc. However, as we said use and structures
of sentences are the same.

 He shall be happy to see you – Estará feliz de verte.


 Where shall we meet? – ¿Dónde nos encontramos?

Shall is used to:

1. Make suggestions or offer help. Also to ask for instructions oradvice. Onl
y used in interrogariva and the first person of thesingular and the plural.
Your structure is: Shall I...? or Shallwe...?

Shall I open the windows?


What shall we do now?

2. Replace at will in the first person singular and plural, but onlyin very
polite and formal written English.

I shall go with them We shall let you know soon

“Shall” also used as question tag of sentences which beginwith Let's:

2) The expression Let's (affirmative both negative) will take the QT: shall
we?

 Let’s go to the beach, shall we?–Vamos a la playa, ¿vale?


 Let’s not argue, shall we?–No discutamos, ¿ok?

In the interrogative form, there are cases where 'will' isreplaced by 'shall'.
Let's see which are:

1) When we offer or suggest something we use this way, givingto underst


and the other person that we would like to know ifyou don't mind.

I’m cold. Shall I close the window? – Tengo frío. ¿Cierro la ventana?
 Shall we go to Puerto Rico next summer? – ¿Vamos a Puerto Rico el
verano que viene?

2) If we want to ask for advice about something, we also usethis kind of fu


ture.

 Shall I start a new book? – ¿Empiezo un libro nuevo?


 Shall I tell him? – ¿Se lo digo?
