Usage notes

 * Historically, will was used in the simple future sense only in the second and third person, while shall was used in the first person. Today, that distinction is almost entirely lost, and the verb takes the same form in all persons and both numbers. Similarly, in the intent sense, will was historically used with the second and third person, while shall was reserved for the first person. See also the usage note at shall.
 * The present tense is will and the past tense is would. Early Modern English had a past participle would which is now obsolete.
 * Malory: ‘Many tymes he myghte haue had her and he had wold’. John Done: ‘If hee had would, hee might easily [...] occupied the Monarchy.’
 * Formerly, will could be used elliptically for "will go" &mdash; e.g. "I'll to her lodgings" (Marlowe).
 * The present participle does not apply to the uses of will as an auxiliary verb.
 * The form of will with the enclitic (or the present tense negative form of will in the analysis in which  is an inflectional suffix) is  (rather than the form that would be expected based on a regular application of -n't, ), while the corresponding form of the past tense would is.
