+++Yasir: Good use of SHALL!
Uly, thanks. I guess people tend to go for 'should' instead these days? I saw it used by characters in US movies even, Mr. Robot being one example.
Actually, this is the only time we use SHALL. The British use it to form the future tense, Americans never do. Good job!
I would say we use should and shall in equal measure in this context.
Oh, I see. Indeed, in an article on Internet I just found it is stated that 'shall' nowadays is used almost in only one scenario, when someone is suggesting their help to other person; as in Shall I help you? It’s too crowded here, shall we go to park instead?
Exactly, that’s what I mean. We don’t use it to form the future, we just use it in suggestions like the ones you mentioned, or in your wonderful translations above.
Cool, great to know.
