Do you prefer use "I shall do" " I will do" ?
Ok if i follow the rules,
I / We shall
you / he / they will

But do you use "I will or we will" ?
like is the famous song "we will rock you"

Maybe it depends of the place you come from ?

Answer

The only time I use "shall" is when making a suggestion or proposal, like Camilo said.

I, and many Americans that I know, frequently use the phrase "Shall we go?".  Or just "Shall we?", when the thing suggested is understood.

Answer

Shall is also used commonly when referring to an obligation, in a formal manner.

I shall file my documents to obtain my certificate.

Answer

Americans never use "shall" unless they are being somewhat facetious.  Everyone uses "will" here.

Answer

Hi, Guillaume,

In american englih shall is rarely used.

In British english shall is becoming very much less common than will.

In British English I use Shall (Not will) with I and We for offers and suggestions when they are questions.

For example,

Shall I help you with your homework? (offer)

Shall we eat tonight? (suggestion)
