shall i leave vs shall i leave now

Both these phrases are correct, but they're used in different contexts. 'Shall I leave?' is a complete question asking for permission or approval to leave, while 'Shall I leave now?' is more specific and implies a sense of urgency or readiness to depart. The addition of 'now' in the second phrase emphasizes the immediacy of the action.
