Shall i?

Is there an equivalent to "shall" (v. "will") in Spanish?

Yes, but just as 'shall' has various uses in English, the Spanish equivalents will also vary.

'Shall' and 'will' are not consistently used by native speakers of American English.
So, if you have a specific sentence to use as an example, you may want to explain what you think the sentence means and we should be able to find a Spanish equivalent that matches your meaning.


Shall We Dance? ¿Bailamos?
--Yes, let's dance. --Sí, bailemos.


What's the difference between 'We shall dance until we collapse' and 'You shall dance until you collapse'?
