ENGLISH GRAMMAR IN USE FOR INTERMEDIATE

21. WILL/SHALL 1

A	We use I'll (= I will) when we've just decided to do something. When we say I'll do something', we announce our decision: · Oh, I've left the door open. I'll go and shut it. · 'What would you like to drink?' I'll have an orange juice, please.' · 'Did you phone Lucy?' 'Oh no, I forgot. I'll phone her now.' You cannot use the present simple ( I do /I go etc.) in these sentences: · I'll go and shut the door. (not I go and shut) We often use I think I'll ... and I don't think I'll ... : · I feel a bit hungry. I think I'll have something to eat. · I don't think I'll go out tonight. I'm too tired. In spoken English the negative of will is usually won't (= will not ): · I can see you're busy, so I won't stay long.
B	Do not use will to talk about what you decided before (see Units 19-20): · I' m going on holiday next Saturday. (not I'll go) · Are you working tomorrow? (not Will you work)
C	We often use will in these situations: Offering to do something · That bag looks heavy. I'll help you with it. (not I help) Agreeing to do something · A: Can you give Tim this book? · B: Sure, I'll give it to him when I see him this afternoon. Promising to do something · Thanks for lending me the money. I'll pay you back on Friday. · I won't tell anyone what happened. I promise. Asking somebody to do something ( Will you ... ?) · Will you please turn the music down? I' m trying to concentrate. You can use won't to say that somebody refuses to do something: · I've tried to give her advice, but she won't listen . · The car won't start . (=the car 'refuses' to start)
D	Shall I ... ? Shall we ... ? Shall is used mostly in the questions shall I ... ? I shall we ... ? We use shall I ... ? / shall we .. . ?to ask somebody's opinion (especially in offers or suggestions): · Shall I open the window? (=Do you want me to open the window?) · I've got no money. What shall I do? (= What do you suggest?) · 'Shall we go?' 'Just a minute. I'm not ready yet.' · 'Where shall we have lunch?' 'Let's go to Marino's.' Compare shall I ... ? and will you ... ?: · Shall I shut the door? (= Do you want me to shut it?) · Will you shut the door? (= I want you to shut it)
