con las primeras personas, I y we, para ofrecer o sugerir algo,
o para pedir consejo (ver los ejemplos anteriores). Con el resto de las
personas (you, he, she, they) "shall" se emplea únicamente en
construcciones poéticas o literarias, e.g. "With rings on her fingers
and bells on her toes, She shall have music wherever she goes."
