Hi Sam,
How are you?nice to meet you.For simple future, "shall" is used for first person singular and plural (I and we), and "will" for second and third (you, he she, it, and they).
If you say "I shall go to town" means that sometime in the future I plan a trip to town. To say "I will go to town" means I am determined to go, generally against some problem, restraint..
When shall and will are followed by expressions such as be glad,be happy, be delighted, etc., use shall in the first person, and will in the second and the third persons.
If will is used in the first person, it would mean that you are determined to be glad, be sorry, be happy, be delighted, etc.
If shall is used in the second and third persons, it would mean that you are compelling someone to be glad, be sorry, be happy, be delighted, etc.
Hope it helps
regards

Wow, thanks Pooja! It's the first time I see such good explanation of when-to-use these words! I'm from Russia and the only explanation that I've heard from several school-teachers here is that "shall" is the old word and nobody should use it in modern language and we must use only "will" instead. Thank you again, nice to meet you by the way  |
