Will/Shall.

We use Will when we decide to do something at the time of speaking:

• Oh, I have left the door open. I’ll go & shut it. (Not I go and shut it)

• What would you like to drink? ‘I I’ll have an orange juice, please.’

• Did you phone Mr.A? ‘Oh no, I forgot. I will phone him now.’


You can not say present simple (I do/ I go etc.) in these sentences:

We often use I think I will…. And I don’t think I will……….

I feel a bit hungry. I think I will have something to eat ( It’s being decided at the time of thought)

• I don’t think I will go out tonight. Iam too tired.

Remember: Do not use Will to write or to talk about what you have already decided to do.

• I am going on holidays next Saturday (not will go on)

• Are you working tomorrow? (Not will work)

• We often use Will in these situations:

Offering to do something

• That bag looks heavy. I will help you with it. (Not I help)

Agreeing to do something

• A: You know that book I lent you. Can I have it back if you have finished with it?

• B: Of course. I will give it to you this afternoon. (Not I give)

Promising to do something

• Thanks for lending me the money. I will pay you back on Friday (Not I pay)

Asking somebody to do something

• Will you shut the door?

• Will you ride the bike?

• Will you turn on the T.V.

You can use Will not to say that somebody refuses to do something.

• I tried to advise her but she won’t listen ( She refused to listen)

• The car will not start. I wonder what wrong with it.

Shall I………….? Shall We…………………….?

• Shall is mostly used in the questions like:

• I have got no money. What shall I do ? (What do you suggest?)

• Where shall we go this evening?


Comparison:

1. Shall I shut the door? (do you want me to shut it?)

2. Will you shut the door? ( I want you to shut it?)

I will & I’m going to

Both are used for future actions.

Compare:

‘Mr.A phoned while you were out.’ OK. I will phone him back ( It means you were not aware of the phone message before)

But

Mr.A phoned while you were out. Yes, Iam going to phone him back ( It means you have already known that he phoned you .)

Future happenings & situations (predicting the future.)

Sometimes there is not much difference between Will & Going to. For example, you can say:

I think the weather will be nice later.

I think the weather is going to be nice later.

When we say ‘something is going to be happen’, we know (or we think) this because of the situation now. For example.

Look at the black clouds. It’s going to rain. (Not will rain)

I feel terrible. I think Iam going to be sick. ( Not I think, I will be sick)

But it is safer to use Will:

Ahmed will probably arrive at 2 : 00 P.M

I think he will like the present we bought for him.

As it has already been mentioned that we do not use 'the' in general ideas but in some cases we can't avoid it:

1)Nurse look after patients in hospitals (Not the patients nor the hospitals)

2)Rice does not grow in cold climates ( the climates)

Above sentences are all about general ideas.

In case we are generally talking about Planets, Rivers, Oceans, directions,etc. we must put 'the' before these kinds of words in a sentence.

Like wise:

The sun rises in the east

The earth goes round the sun.

The river Amazon flows in the Atlantic Ocean.

Verbs which are not action:
• Present Continuous: is to be used for action verbs & happenings. Like: I am eating (‘eating is an action verb’) & it’s raining (Raining is a sort of happening).

• Some verbs which are supposed to be ‘not action verbs (like, know, see, etc.) are used in present simple to get the right meaning of Present Continuous Tenses.


Following verbs are not usually used in Present Continuous Tenses:

Mean, believe, want, prefer, know, realise, suppose, understand, believe,

belong, contain, consist, depend, seem, suggest, recommend, insist, etc.

Let us make some sentences of above to get the idea:

1) Do you see the man over there? ( in this sentence the action is continue but we can not use ‘see’ as ‘seeing.’)

2) You look serious, what is wrong?

What do you think whether or not we can become ICC Champions?
But we can say:

What are you thinking about? (What is going on in your mind?)

I am thinking of giving up my job. (Here ‘thinking’ gives a sense of considering.)

See, hear, smell, taste.

We normally use present simple (not continuous) with these verbs.

• Do you see the man over there? ( not are you seeing)
• This room smells. Let us open a window.
• Do you see me over web cam?
• The food tastes very delicious
• Hello! Can you hear me?


But in some cases we can use see in present continuous. But it gives us sense of future arrangements like meeting with some one.

• I am seeing the dentist tomorrow.

He is selfish and He is being selfish.

He is being selfish. (Behaving selfishly at the moment)

He never thinks about other people, he is very selfish. ( generally he is)
