1. The standard will/shall form is this: 'Shall' for the first persons ( I/we) e.g. Shall we go? 'Will' for the second and third persons (you/he/she/it/they) e.g. Will he go? 2. The emphatic form is the reverse of the above: 'Will' used for the first person - 'I will go!' - emphasises the determination of the speaker. 'Shall' for the second and third persons has a forceful, imperative impact, which is why it is used for instructions, contracts, rules, regulations, legal requirements and formal notices.
