Which is correct if you're making a suggestion?

It is a question, but there are situations where it wouldn't seem so odd- a couple, for instance, where only one knew the travel plans.![]()
why shall? i always hear word will...anyway shall isn't used anymore:D
Hi,
Shall is still used in English grammar :
"Will" means willingness and it is also the mark of "future tense"
"Shall" is used when making suggestions or when I am ready to do smth. in the future but this not my "will" or my" wish".
e.g.
Conversation:
Mother :Jane, will you help me with the dishes,please?
Jane : yes, mom, I will [ it`s my will ; I`ll do it because I want]
If you use " shall" instead of "will" in the previous sentence, the meaning is different.
Regards,

In my opinion both variants are correct:
will we go? - someone asks us if we intend to go in the future
shall we go? - someone asks us in a polite way if we want to go which may be in the future or in the present
Good posting!
This is one of the few instances where shall continues to exist in common vernacular English.
I think that the phrase Shall we dance? and its variants will remain in conversational English long after other uses of shall have disappeared.
Helllooooo.........
if u say "will we go?" here it's a question when you are not sure whether you'll go or not and the answer is with Yes or NO
Shall we go? here you are 100% sure that you will go but you suggest for the listener to go at this moment....

the first one becuase we might go and it has stronger meaning than the other one.
although I wrote 'shall ' I do hear Scots say 'will' when other anglophones would say 'shall'
