有读者问: 有两道选择题:
(1)Tell him that he_________come here immediately.
A. shall B. will C. need D. would
(2)_____ he open the door?
A. Shall B. Will C. Can D. Would
答案都是A,我不知为什么。
上述句(1)之所以应选A,是因为表命令的shall亦可用于第三人称,再如:
(3)He shall do it, whether he wants to or not.
上述句(2)之所以应选A,是因为表示征求对方意见的shall也可用于第三人称,再如:
(4)What shall he do next?
(5)Shall the messenger wait?
