We finish our brief study of modals today with shall, will and would. Although there are many functions and notions expressed with these three modals, they are best known by the following ones:
- Will is traditionally associated with the future and also with making requests.
- Shall, usually associated with making suggestions and offers of help, has several other uses, most of them considered old fashioned or too formal.
- Would is the reference par excellence for conditionals and also the equivalent of will in the past and reported speech.
