This could be said, in my opinion, with a different tense: You shall have to take a look at it.
If not, it doesn't sound correct to me. Shall could perfectly be used with first persons: I shall take a look, we shall take a look...

Hello Exx and maramaras!!


The best way to say this would be:


You should take a look at it.


If you said the same thing in the first person Exx you are correct. It would be better to say "I shall have to take a look at this".


Saludos amigas.



maramaras: just a spelling note regarding "loose".
you might loose having fun. I think you intended to say you will lose having fun. This is a common spelling error. The word loose means "suelto". The word lose means "perder"
(Exx correctly changed it to miss having fun)
