As an auxiliary ,
shall indicates a duty or necessity whose obligation is derived from the person speaking ;
as ,
you shall go ;
he shall go ;
that is ,
I order or promise your going .
It thus ordinarily expresses ,
in the second and third persons ,
a command ,
a threat ,
or a promise .
If the auxillary be emphasized ,
the command is made more imperative ,
the promise or that more positive and sure .
It is also employed in the language of prophecy ;
as , "
the day shall come when . . ., "
since a promise or threat and an authoritative prophecy nearly coincide in significance .
In shall with the first person ,
the necessity of the action is sometimes implied as residing elsewhere than in the speaker ;
as ,
I shall suffer ;
we shall see ;
and there is always a less distinct and positive assertion of his volition than is indicated by will . "
I shall go "
implies nearly a simple futurity ;
more exactly ,
a foretelling or an expectation of my going ,
in which ,
naturally enough ,
a certain degree of plan or intention may be included ;
emphasize the shall ,
and the event is described as certain to occur ,
and the expression approximates in meaning to our emphatic "
I will go ."
In a question ,
the relation of speaker and source of obligation is of course transferred to the person addressed ;
as , "
Shall you go ?" (
answer , "
I shall go "); "
Shall he go ?"
i .
e ., "
Do you require or promise his going ?" (
answer , "
He shall go ".)
The same relation is transferred to either second or third person in such phrases as "
You say ,
or think ,
you shall go ;" "
He says ,
or thinks ,
he shall go ."
After a conditional conjunction (
as if ,
whether )
shall is used in all persons to express futurity simply ;
as ,
if I ,
you ,
or he shall say they are right .
Should is everywhere used in the same connection and the same senses as shall ,
as its imperfect .
It also expresses duty or moral obligation ;
as ,
he should do it whether he will or not .
In the early English ,
and hence in our English Bible ,
shall is the auxiliary mainly used ,
in all the persons ,
to express simple futurity . (
Cf .
{
Will },
v .
t .)
Shall may be used elliptically ;
thus ,
with an adverb or other word expressive of motion go may be omitted . "
He to England shall along with you ." --
Shak .
[
1913 Webster ]
Note :
Shall and will are often confounded by inaccurate speakers and writers .
Say :
I shall be glad to see you .
Shall I do this ?
Shall I help you ? (
not Will I do this ?)
See {
Will }.
