Shall/will #2 (permalink) Tue Mar 29, 2005 10:34 am   Shall/will
 

This is a complicated matter and cannot really be explained in a short note. Incidentally if you begin a sentence with never, then you should change the word order after that. So you would say: Never shall I .... Never will I ... The difference is that shall in the first person has a stronger future force and will more a sense of determination. Let me give you one simple example:

Tomorrow I shall start work on the new project (that is something that is going to happen in the future)

Tomorrow I will really stop smoking (that is something i want to do very much/I am determined to do)

This is, as I say a very basic explanation and does not give details of all the other forms. If you like, you can look at one of the pieces I wrote under the heading esl lessons called Future.
Hope this helps

Before posting your entries, type them out in MS Word. It has a lot of checking tools-grammar and construction. Only for mistakes which you can’t set right there, you go in for explanations.

Never I shall go. (You find a green line under shall. You right click on it and a dialogue box opens, giving corrections. If you accept the coorection, click on it and the change will occur.) Try using this facility.

Never will I go. (This correction was made that way.)

I made a spelling mistake which you can find retained in the above: the coorection—so right click on it and you find suggestions and click on the suitable one—corrections. Click on the wrong thing and change it into a correct one. Copy and paste this and try correcting them, using MS Word tools.
