Use of 'Shall'

 The auxiliary verb "shall" is used in English to express future actions, suggestions, or obligations, primarily with the first-person singular and plural subjects (I and we). Here are some common uses of "shall":

1. Future Action:

   • "I shall visit my grandmother tomorrow." (Expresses the speaker's intention or plan to visit their grandmother in the future.)
   • "We shall meet at the park at 3 p.m." (Suggests an arrangement or agreement for a future meeting.)

2. Suggestions:

   • "Shall we go out for dinner tonight?" (Proposing or suggesting the idea of going out for dinner.)
   • "Shall I help you with your bags?" (Offering assistance or asking if the speaker should help with the bags.)

3. Obligations or Requirements:

   • "I shall submit the report by Friday." (Stating a personal obligation or commitment to submit the report by Friday.)
   • "We shall follow the rules and regulations." (Expressing a general obligation or requirement to adhere to rules.)

It's worth noting that in modern English, the use of "shall" is less common compared to "will" in most contexts. However, in formal or legal contexts, "shall" is still used to indicate obligations, requirements, or future actions.
