Usage notes
The future tense can be expressed with either willen and skullen, the former one with a volition meaning and the latter one with a duty meaning. Therefore, both Ik will gån and Ik skall gån can be translated as I'll go, but have different underlying senses (respectively I'll go because I want to and I'll go because I have to).
