Give a synopsis of the progressive tenses of _begin_, using _he_ as the
subject.
=Exercise 104--Shall and Will=
The auxiliary verbs used to form the future tenses are _shall_ and
_will_. The two must be carefully distinguished because they denote
different ideas, according to the person with which they are used. The
rule is, to express simple future time, use _shall_ in the first person,
_will_ in the second and third persons.
The future tense of the verb _walk_ is conjugated as follows:
I shall walk We shall walk
You will walk You will walk
He will walk They will walk
This is the form to use when you expect the action to take place
naturally.
On the other hand, instead of letting things take their natural course
as they do in the simple future, you may force them to take place. You
may, for example, be determined to walk, or determined to make some one
else walk. In that case the use is reversed; as,
I will walk We will walk
You shall walk You shall walk
He shall walk They shall walk
This form is used whenever the speaker has authority to bring about the
action indicated by the verb.
In questions of the first person always use _shall_. In questions of the
second and third persons use the same form that you expect in the
answer; as,
_Shall_ you be at home to-morrow? I _shall_.
In the following sentences insert _shall_ or _will_, giving the reason
for your choice:
