Will & Shall

[Harry Smith]

What is the interrogative form of these sentences?
I will visit him on Saturday? We will help them with their English.

Thank you in advance!

As your question stands, Harry, you need only invert 'will' and the subject to make the interrogative form. The result is a simple question about the future.
.
If you replace 'will' with 'shall' in the questions, then I would understand each sentence as suggestion or offer to do something.

Nice explanation! And what do you prefer: Shall I(we).... or Will I (we)....?

If I wanted to (clearly) make a suggestion or offer to do something, I'd use shall. That is one of the (very few) surviving uses of shall in AmE.

Yes, I know. I'm a little anxious about using "Will I(we)......?" Do you ask such questions?

Will we help him with his English? This sounds fine to me as long as it's not a suggestion- I could be asking you because I am not sure. Will I visit him on Saturday sounds a bit strange as you should know the answer. You could create a context where it would be possible- you're checking with someone who knows your appointments, say, but it's not a very likely question IMO.
