certainly

We also use will/shall when we decide to do something at the moment of speaking.

The year is 1890, during the Pacifican Civil War. A group of rebels are expecting an attack by government soldiers. Look at the verb phrases. Write them with the correct form of will or shall. If the verb is already correct, write “no change”.

LUCAN: Do you think 1 they’ll attack today, commander?

VARGEZ: My guess is that 2 they’ll attack until the sun goes down. But 3 we’ll be ready for them, whenever they come.

TAIT: 4 They’ll be heavily armed, do you think?

VARGEZ: No. They’re coming over difficult country, so probably 5 they’ll be heavily armed.

BELOF: How many of them 6 there will be?

VARGEZ: Probably around fifty. Anyway, 7 there will be more than 100 of them, at the very most.

LUCAN: If they want to take us by surprise, 8 they’ll come at night, through Drybones Canyon. 9 I’ll go up to Skull Rock? I can see the canyon clearly from there, even at night.

VARGEZ: OK. But now 10 you’ll let us know if you see the enemy? Wait … I’ve got a plan. Lucan – 11 you’ll wave a burning stick when you see them. 12 We’ll take them by surprise, in the canyon. 13 They’ll see us coming. I promise you, men, 14 we’ll let them get away!
