@Zahra__03 it's a modal verb. you can use shall instead of will. "i shall never forgive you"
you can use with I and we to make suggestions. "shall we begin?"
And you can use to say that something certainly will or must happen. "i shall be there to meet the train"

“Shall” is antiquated. People in the US don’t say it anymore. I’m not sure about in the UK.
