Shall is now only used with I and we, and often sounds formal and old-fashioned. People are more likely to say: I’ll (= I will) be late我要迟到了。 and ‘You’ll (= you will) apologize immediately.’“你会马上道歉的。‘No I won’t!’“不,我不会!
- In British English shall is still used with I and we in questions or when you want to make a suggestion or an offer: What shall I wear to the party?我穿什么衣服去参加聚会呢?Shall we order some coffee?我们要些咖啡好吗?I’ll drive, shall I?我来开车好吗?
