Will and Shall

1.- We use will to talk about the future. Look at this example:

2.- We make sentences with will like this
Will + Infinitive

We use I will, or I'll and I will not or I won't.
We usually use the short forms (I'll, he'll, I won't, he won't) when we speak.
Positive Full form Short form
I/he/she/it/we/you/ they will go 'll go
Negative Full Form Short form

3.- We use will to talk about future facts, and things that we think will happen in the future:

Jane will love your new dress
He's a good manager. He won't make any mistakes.
We also use will to ask about the future:

4.- We use I'll when we make a decision to do something. For example, when the telephone rings, we say:
I'll answer it
Here is another example:
A: Does anyone want to come withme tonight?
B: Yes, I'll come
5.- We use Shall I...? or I'll... when we want to do things for other people:
Offer: Shall I make you a cup of coffee?

We use Shall we ...? to suggest things that we can do:
Suggestion: Shall we see a film tonight?
