How to use «Shall» in context?
The word «shall» is used to express a requirement or duty. The word can be used in various forms, depending on the circumstances. In most cases, «shall» is followed by a verb. For example, «you shall eat.» This means that you have a duty to eat, and if you don’t, you may experience negative consequences. On the other hand, «you shall not smoke» means that you are not allowed to smoke. This prohibition is not a duty, but is a rule imposed by the Speaker or other authority.
