Hi - good question! Shall and will have a lot of overlap and many people use them interchangeably. Shall is used a lot less frequently than will by native speakers in my opinion.
'Will' suggests obligation whereas 'shall' conveys intention.
For example: he will go shopping. Will in this context shows that he is going to do something.
Shall can be used as a question: shall I go shopping? Or as a statement: I shall go shopping. Shall in these contexts is less obligatory than will.
I hope this helps 🙂

“Shall” and “Will” are different. They have been used interchangeably by people without differentiating between the two.
The answer is a bit long but I will give you a very short answer.
You can use “Will” in questions when you would like to invite somebody or request something.
“Will you come to the birthday party?”
You can use shall in question when you want to give a suggestion.
“Shall we go?”

You can use shall and we'll the same way but we use we'll because It's contraption of we will to talk about how we're doing something in the future

Lets say it like this
Will - informal
Could - bit more formal
May - even more formal
Shall - the most formal
There you go, otherwise they are pretty much the same, just difference in formalness
