Shall

What is Shall?


1.

A word which, like whom, has come to be thought of as overly formal and stuffy in American speech. In current use, it indicates a very strong intention or will to do something.

Traditionally, shall is used as an auxilliary to form the future tense for the first person: ("I" and "we")

I shall go

you will go

he/she/it will go

we shall go

they will go

Negative: shall not, contracted as shan't.

This service was atrocious! We shan't be coming back here again!
