  • Which is correct "i shan't" or "i won't"? I am a little bit confused coz in previous lessons you used "I will and i won't" and in this lesson you said "i shan't". Answer, please.

  • There is more than one way to say something. I shan't is 'I shall not' and I won't is 'I will not'. The opposites of words can vary too. Just like 'can' and 'can't'. 'Won't' can be used as an opposite to 'can' To show that you are willing to do something or not. A positive response or a negative one.

  • I am sorry but i wanted to ask something different. You know my teacher of English always tought us that we had to use 'shall' with 'I' and 'we' and 'will' with other pronouns but most of people often say : i will instead of i shall or i will not\i won't instead of i shall not\ i shan't. I wonder which is correct.

  • For 'formal' use, that is the correct clause. The examples here in the video are of informal use. (As I said in the lesson).
