Grammar:
Shall as modal - uses:

1. Offers, suggestions and advice

We use shall I and shall we to make offers and suggestions, and to ask for advice.

offer Shall I carry your bag?

suggestion Shall I call again on Thursday?

seeking advice What shall we do with this?

2. Predictions and intentions

We use shall instead of will with I and we in rather formal contexts to make predictions and to talk about intentions or
decisions. It is much less common than will.

Compare

formal less formal

We shall remember this day forever. We will remember this day forever.

Warning:
We use shall only with the first person pronouns I and we to make predictions or express intentions:

The new business cards will be ready at the end of the month.

Not: The new business cards shall be ready at the end of the month.

3. Commands

Warning:
In very formal contexts, we use shall to give commands:

e.g. [public notice]

This door shall be kept closed at all times.

Shall: typical error

 We use should, not shall, for advice and suggestions:

e.g. In my opinion, we should book another hotel.

Not: In my opinion, we shall book another hotel.

Will and shall
We use will for all persons, but we often use shall with I and we. Will (’ll) is generally less formal than shall when used
with I and we:

Simply complete the form and return it to me, and I shall personally reserve your hotel room for you.
We shall look at a full report from the centre.
We’ll see you in the morning.

Shall also has a special legal use for talking about rules and laws. In these cases, we often use it with third-person subjects:

According to the basic principle of human rights, people shall not be discriminated against because of their nationality, race,
age, sex, religion, occupation and social status.

Shall and will are both used to talk about intentions and decisions. Shall is more formal than will.
