Hello.
I'm a bit puzzled about this construction "If a great wave shall fall..." in test 9513.
I'd be grateful if you could give me some enlightenment.
Regards.

Hello,
That sentence comes from a song.
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all ...it is the emphatic form of will, which may give a feeling of religious matter.
Shall is not often used nowadays but it is correct anyway.
Hope this helps.
