Core Structure & Formula
Instant Decision / Offer: I'll + Infinitive (I'll carry that box for you)
Promise / Refusal: I promise I won't / The printer won't start
Predictions: Subject + will + Infinitive (I'm sure you'll get the internship)
Suggestions: Shall I ... ? / Shall we ... ? (Shall we reschedule?)
ADecisions made at the moment of speaking
We use 'I'll' (will) when announcing a sudden spontaneous decision.
•Oh, I forgot to save the document. I'll email it to you now.
•'What would you like to drink?' 'I'll have sparkling water, please.'
•That suitcase looks heavy. I'll help you with it.

Used with 'probably', 'I think', 'I'm sure', 'I wonder'.
•Don't worry about the interview. I'm sure you'll do well.
•They've been abroad for a long time. When they return, they'll notice a lot of changes.
•I hope Farah passes her driving test. (Note: present simple after 'hope')
CShall I / Shall we
Used only with 'I' and 'we' to ask for suggestions or offer to do something.
•Shall I open the window? (= do you want me to open it?)
•Where shall we hold the workshop?
