"Shall" expresses the future tense in first-person form. It's similar to "will" and is sometimes interchangeable. It also indicates that something must happen. Sometimes, it is used as a polite request or suggestion. Ex: Shall we go? => polite ask Ex: We shall go to the party tonight. = We will go to the party tonight. Ex: You shall not leave this house. = must not Ex: If you're not here, I shall leave. = a conditional "must"
