    All of the above answers are right, but the word "shall" is rarely used in US other than the King James Bible. Several other phrases are used to convey the same meaning.

    Shall and will are two of the English modal verbs
    "Shall" is used to indicate future action. It is most commonly used in sentences with "I" or "we," and is often found in suggestions, such as "Shall we go?
    shall i take your mobile phone with me?
    shall we begin lunch?
    i shall take care of the baby while you are out.

    "shall" is used in questions (I or we)
    It is used to make offers, suggestions or request.

    Shall I open the window?
    Shall we dance?
    Where shall we go today?
    What shall I do next?
