21 Will/shall 1
We use I'Ll (= I will) when we've just decided to do something. When we say I 'l l 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?' T il 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 / 1go etc.) in these sentences:
0 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 ... :
0 I feel a bit hungry. I think I'll have something to eat.
0 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.
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)
0 Are you working tomorrow? (not Will you work)
We often use will in these situations:
Offering to do something
0 That bag looks heavy. I'll help you with it. (not I help)
Agreeing to do something
a : Can you give Tim this book?
0 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,
o I won't tell anyone what happened. I promise.
Asking somebody to do something (W ill you ... ?)

W ill you please turn the music down? I'm trying to concentrate.
You can use won't to say that somebody refuses to do something:

O I've tried to give her advice, but she won't listen.
The car won't start. (= the car ‘refuses' to start)
Shall I ... ? Shall we ... ?
Shall is used mostly in the questions shall I ... ? / shall we ... ?

We use shall I ... ? / shall we ... ? to ask somebody's opinion (especially in offers or suggestions):
O 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 ... ?:

0 Shall I shut the door? (= Do you want me to shut it?)
W ill you shut the door? (= I want you to shut it)
