Difference between try, will, shall, must
-
My english no good..can anyone help me to explain the difference between
1) Try = can do, do.
2) Will = sounded when I am free hence needed to have time flame
3) Shall = stronger than will but also needed time flame
4) Must = definite however also needed time flame
Hence, is it right to say that time is also important then?
How to make a strong statement that I can convince peoples? Can anyone tell me.? -
I DO -> all of the above, plus if u fail, u die.

There is always such invention known as "dictionary"
Try - make an attempt or effort to do something
Will - expressing willingness to carry out a request or suggestion
Shall - expressing a strong assertion or intention
Must - be obliged to and should; expressing insistence
USAGE There is considerable confusion about when to use shall and will. The traditional rule in standard English is that shall is used with first person pronouns ( I and we) to form the future tense, while will is used with second and third persons ( you, he, she, it, they):: I shall be late; | she will not be there. When expressing a strong determination to do something, the traditional rule is that will is used with the first person, and shall with the second and third persons: | I will not tolerate this; | you shall go to school. In practice, however, shall and will are today used more or less interchangeably in statements (although not in questions). Given that the forms are frequently contracted ( we'll, she'll, etc.), there is often no need to make a choice between shall and will, another factor no doubt instrumental in weakening the distinction. In modern English, the interchangeable use of shall and will is an acceptable part of standard U.S. and British English. -

Try - an attempt, may come with patience but with no gaurantee of succeed
Will - a confirmation of an action/ reaction
Shall - a confirmation of an action/ reaction but with no-anticipation of unforseen circuumstances (Legal documents like to use 'shall')
Must - a proactive confirmation of an action/ reaction
to illustrate their usage...
I am trying to reach there by 10 in the morning and will meet up with the ice-cream lady who must give me an ice-cream cone but the toppings shall be chocolate or stra berry flavored. -
I remember once my officer tell my staff.."Try to get the job done by today".My staff carried out the job. The job was not done properly and also no on time.
After this incident, I told my officer, Use "must" or even "definitely" ..and I see better results.
