If you are not careful, you may inadvertently write “shall”. Do we really have to? All of them? I have to be careful.” Really? Dig deeper and you’ll see that it’s merely a matter of “I’ve got to be careful” Sometimes “shall” is “I think it’s a good thing to do, but I don’t think everyone should do it.” Japanese language is prone to “the subject is large” because it is possible to make statements in which the subject is unclear.
