Egy nyelvtani fosszília, ma már kizárólag E/1 vagy T/1 alanyú kérdésben találkozunk vele. Felajánlkozásra, felajánlásra, javaslattételre való. Például:

   Shall I order something for you? - Rendeljek neked valamit?

Shall

Ritkább használata egyfajta fennkölt tiltás, így:

You shall not pass here! -mondta Gandalf a démonnak Moria bányáiban :)

De!

Fontos, hogy az nem jó fordítás, hogy "Rendelhetek neked valamit?", hiszen ebben inkább engedélyt kérünk, nem felajánlunk. Ebből kifolyólag azt így fordítanánk: Can I order something for you?

Decide if "shall" or "will" is the appropriate word for the missing place!
