A veces puedes estar muy seguro de algo que sucederá o realizarás en el futuro. Expresa seguridad sobre una acción futura de manera muy formal con “Shall”.
Si tienes una convicción personal de algo que harás en el futuro, puedes expresarlo utilizando la palabra Shall.
Veamos algunos ejemplos:
La palabra shall es propia del inglés Británico y muy utilizada. Pero practicamente no se utiliza en el inglés Americano. Es recomendable evitarla, ya que se suele utilizar para bromas. En su lugar, utiliza “will” o “going to be” como has visto al comienzo del curso.
También es importante conocer este vocabulario para rendir exámenes internacionales como el IELTS.
Con este sencillo vocabulario, ya puedes expresar con seguridad o certeza esos hechos que ocurrirán en el futuro.
