Use: · Use will/won’t + infinitive for future predictions. ( She’ ll be tired. ) Decisions I won’t have the fish, I’ll have the steak. We ’ll take the 6.30 train. Offers I’ ll help you with your homework. Shall I open the window? Promises I’ ll always love you. I won’t tell anyone.

USE: Use Shall I…? or Shall we…? When an offer is a question. Shall I pay? Shall we call you tonight at 7.00?
