He is gone vs He has gone
Steve H wrote in his comment: "It's too bad he is gone from italki." What is the difference between "He has gone" and "He is gone"? Present Perfect Active vs Present Simple Passive? Are they equal to "He has gone" - "He has left" and "He is gone" - "They make him to go"; like in German "Er ist gegangen" or anything else?

Will versus shall
Will may be used for all persons, but shall can occur with I and we (according to some grammar textbooks) . Is shall still used in the future tense nowadays?
I shall / will not do it. You can't make me.
We shall / will find some other work for you to do.
I'm sure that we shall / will have a good discussion.
Why have I asked this question? I always try to apply the principle 'trust but verify'. There was a TV show in the channel "Culture", it was called "English in 16 Hours". And its host was Dmitry Petrov. He is a teacher, a polyglot (he is thought to know about 30 languages), a linguist, and a simultaneous interpreter. He said that the auxiliary verb 'shall' had not been used in English for 30 years. He told the audience to leave the English teachers if they taught their students or pupils that verb in the future tense because they did not know English at all.

First notebook entry: Introducing myself
Ich interessiere mich für Fremdsprachen und möchte meine Kenntnisse besser machen. Ich kann auch beim Erlernen der Russischen Sprache helfen. Und dabei kann man Skype benutzen. Es gibt immer Fragen und Zweifelsfälle und man braucht mehr Kommunikation, denn Übung macht den Meister.
