eg. I think he'll fail the exam / I don't think he'll pass the exam.
NOT I think he won't pass the exam.
In English, when an offer is a question, we use Shall I...? or Shall we...? (NOT will)
eg. Shall I call you tonight? Shall we pick you up at 7pm?
In English we often use definitely and probably with will/won't.
eg. Jo will definitely pass the exam.
Lara probably won't be able to take a holiday this summer.
In English we can use 'be going to' or present continuous for future plans.
'Be going to' shows you have made a decision.
