Status of shall/w ill,should /w ould
22
O. Jespersen and
L.S. Barkhudarov, state that shall/will,
should/ would are modals denoting intention, command, request, promise, etc. in a weakened form, e.g.: I’ll go there by train. = I
intend (want, plan) to go there by train. On this basis they deny the existence of the verbal future tense in English.
Otto Jespersen
Etym ology ofshall/w ill
Etymologically they are the verbs of obligation (shall) and volition (will).
shall/will and should/would are in their immediate etymology modal verbs.
