what are the uses of will and shall?
80013
These days, most English speakers dance around the traditional distinctions between "shall" and "will."\nGrammar Lady Mary Bruder says the distinction is when you're talking about what's called the simple future -- "I shall go shopping tomorrow, that's just what I plan to do" -- versus the more emphatic: "I WILL go shopping tomorrow, don't try to stop me."\nBut that's in the first person. When you're talking in the second or third person, according to tradition, you reverse them:\nSo "You shall" or "they shall" becomes a command, while "you will" or "they will" just describes the simple future. \nBut the rules are hardly simple. Maybe that's why "shall" is not used much anymore -- except in legal documents: "You shall pay your taxes on time." But lawyers argue about the level of obligation implied by "shall":\n\n"In favor of will, for all future tenses. And the spoken language, and the people who write on a regular basis, even in very formal language, use `will' for the future. The only common use for shall is to make suggestions: `What shall we do? Shall we go to the movies? Shall we blah blah blah. And even that is sort of the contracted `sh'll': `What sh'll we do?'"\n it's one of the questions, one of the myths of English that this is still a common distinction. The international students ask this question all the time. They think that they have to remember to use `shall' for the future sometimes and `will' at other times."\nthis actually was a feature of English, maybe in Victorian times and the rule has remained. It's sort of like ending a sentence with a preposition or splitting an infinitive, those sorts of rules."

It all depends on how strong YOUR will is...

'Shall' isn't dead at all. You may not use it in America much, but it's still used in Britain - although not as much as it should be...! As long as there are anthems such as "We shall, we shall not be moved!" it can't die!\n\n'Whom' is almost dead - maybe you should describe it as 'the un-dead word'? Because it's like a vampire - no matter how much you try to kill it off it keeps rising from the grave...!\n\nBut "too" will never die - at least not in the next few decades! ; )\n\nJust because so many people on here don't know the difference between "too", "to" & "two" (or "write", "right" & "wright"!) doesn't matter in the REAL world - because in the REAL world people CAN spell!

Faith!  To have total faith that Gods will is what is right.  And, to accept his decisions...whatever they may be.  Knowing that He knows best.  \n\nLove!  Love others.  Love yourself.  Love God, above all.  And, no....I'm not a bible banger.  lol\n\nJust passing on what I have learned.  When I learned to accept the things in my life that happened....good or bad...and to realize that those things were His will....that they had a purpose in my life....I was much happier.\n\nFighting against what is meant to be, is so futile.  And, believe me....God is the one in control.  Yes, we can make some decisions...are are expected to use our brains and logic.  \n\nBut, when I lost my Dad to cancer....I learned who is really in control.  \n\nA lot of what makes us happy, is in how WE CHOOSE to look at a situation.

God gives us a vision.  What he personally wants us to do and what his will is for us personally.  That is why every true believer has the Holy Spirit, to guide them personally.  Where there is no knowledge of the will of God the people perish.  Part of the will of God is that we keep his law.  Jesus said If you love me keep my commandments.

Would suggests the occurrence for needing the laptop has not happened yet. What ever the project being discussed is, it is still in the planning stages. Will indicates a decision being made.\n\nBTW: poor grammar. HOWEVER should not be used to start a sentence, and is unnecessary in the above statement. Better written could be "I would always use my laptop, however; because it is more flexible and provides better functionality."

Belgarath the Sorceror, by David Eddings, has very specific instructions about using the Will and the Word.  Be prepared to study grass for a century, though.

God's Will is that you walk down the street between the two curbs until you reach the end of the road.\nFree Will is that you can walk on either side or anyway you like... but stick to the road rules and it'll be an easier trip.\n:)

When I was learning to spell as a kid, "ei" and "ie" always gave me trouble.  I learned a poem to help keep them straight:  I before E, except after C, or when sounded like A, as in neighbor or weigh.\n\nIn college I heard a bad joke that helped me keep the differences between "will" and "shall" straight in my mind:  An Irishman (whom the British always fault for using improper grammar) was crossing a bridge in London and fell off into the water.  He yelled for help, "Help me.  I will drown."  British passers-by on the bridge heard him and thought he was determined to drown, so they refused to help him.

A legal will is to make sure your possessions go to your family, friends, charity choices, etc. If you don't have one your stuff could end up going to the state, which would be a big waste. The living will is to make sure you get the medical care you want even if you aren't able to make the decisions at the time. For example, if you don't want to be kept alive artificially that would be in the living will and doctors have to follow it even though you can't tell them at the time. The disadvantages to a legal will would only be if you made decisions that made your family unhappy. And the living will I guess the only problem would be if you changed your mind but forgot to change the living will and then couldn't tell the doctor your new wishes. But that would be a pretty extreme case. Mostly they are good things to have.
