Which is correct if you're making a suggestion?

The first one. The second one is a question (and an odd one), not a suggestion.

 

[Tdol]

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. ;-)

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.

 

[juliette woolley]

although I wrote 'shall ' I do hear Scots say 'will' when other anglophones would say 'shall'

 

[Mihai_alexandru]

You use "shall" for suggestions so it is correct.

e.g.
Shall we dance?
Shall we go to the cinema?
Shall we watch TV?

[pekham_banerjee]

i think shall will be the correct answer:up:

 

[AZAMI ASLI]

I think Shall is true , but , sometimes I heard somebody using will , too...
And in brief it`s both we`ll ...

Which is correct if you're making a suggestion?

Hello, I'm The French,

I know the two forms are correct, but I answered shall, because it's a suggestion.

Somebody told me, that the shall form it's not very used in English, and the use of it seems to be a little archaic for English, is it true?

Thank for you reply:-D
