Hi Burak,

In this sentence the speaker says what he is going to do and that's why he says: I'll just put ... indicating I will/shall just....

The other form form I've (I have) would not work here because that would mean that he has already put the tv on.

I need just an explanation:

the word 'just' in:

"Sarah: Thank you very much. I shall be as quiet as a mouse but I'll just put the TV on."

doesn't mean that he has 'already' put the TV on?
or it means that he is 'only' going to put the TV on?

thanks

Hi Joker,

The point is that the speaker promises to be quiet BUT says that he will just put the tv on/ in other words that's all he's going to do.
