1. will用作助动词时主要用于构成将来式，在美式英语中各个人称均可用will构成将来式，而在英式英语中则多用于第二、第三人称。在英式英语中当主语是“第二〔第三〕人称+I〔we〕"时也多使用will.
2. will还可用作情态动词：
　①用于第一人称时表示说话人（即主语）的意志，含有“愿意”“许诺”“意向”或“决定”等意义。
　②用于第二、第三人称，表示说话人或主语的意志，含意是“愿意”“命令”“决定”“有礼貌的请求”等。但只有指现在的意志时才明确，指将来的意志时就与将来式混淆了，如果句子带有将来时间状语，表示意志的作用往往会消失。
　③用于第二、第三人称时还可表示或然性、似真性或揣测，后接动词不定式的一般式，指对现在或将来的揣测（但只有明确表示关于现在的揣测时，才算是情态动词，否则应算是将来式）；后接动词不定式的完成式，指对过去的揣测。
　④用于主语指非生物的第三人称，表示具有某种能力，能胜任一件事情。
　⑤表示坚持、固执或顽强的决心时可用于各种人称，重读，肯定式不用缩写形式，但否定式则可用won't；表示经常性、习惯性、倾向性、不可避免性时不重读，多用于第三人称。
　⑥表示普遍真理或事物的自然属性。
　⑦用于条件状语从句中表示主语或说话人的意志。
