(Not quite modern grammar, but I have no doubt that someone on MAI will know the answer!)
Does anyone know whether the two are interchangeable in Middle English, or whether there are rules deciding when you'd use one over the other?
I'm struggling to google this, all that comes up is biblical references! I found a post on a (non grammar related) forum that said '"shall" is not second person singular in medieval English.', but of course one cannot trust everything one reads on the internet
Many thanks!
