Task 4. Imagine that you are in the following situations. Write what you say using will, shall and
won't
1. You offer to help somebody to carry a briefcase. Shall I carry your briefcase?
2. You promise your Mum not to be late in the evening.
3. You friends have got nothing to do. Make a suggestion.
4. Some boys are fighting. Ask them to stop it,
5. You can't open the door. Explain your problem
6. There is an accident in the street. You offer to call an ambulance.
7. You refuse to pay for the parcel before you've checked it.
In this situation, using "shall" to offer assistance is appropriate. By saying "Shall I carry your briefcase?" you are politely offering to help the person carry their briefcase.
2. You promise your Mum not to be late in the evening.
When making a promise, it is common to use "will" to express your intention and commitment. You can say, "I promise I won't be late in the evening."
3. Your friends have got nothing to do. Make a suggestion.
To make a suggestion, we can use "shall" to indicate a possibility or "will" to suggest something with certainty. You can say, "Shall we go for a walk?" or "Why don't we watch a movie?"
4. Some boys are fighting. Ask them to stop it.
When asking someone to stop doing something, we can use "will" to express a request or "shall" to sound more authoritative. You can say, "Will you please stop fighting?" or "Shall you boys put an end to this fight?"
5. You can't open the door. Explain your problem.
When explaining a problem, we use "can't" to indicate the inability to do something. You can say, "I can't open the door because the lock seems to be stuck."
6. There is an accident in the street. You offer to call an ambulance.
To offer assistance in this situation, using "will" or "shall" is appropriate. You can say, "Shall I call an ambulance?" or "I will call an ambulance."
7. You refuse to pay for the parcel before you've checked it.
When refusing to do something, we use "won't" to express our unwillingness. You can say, "I won't pay for the parcel until I've checked its contents."
