Assunto:  will /modal or S. Future?
 
Mensagem:  As I'm reviewing the future and  I came across a grammar that shows how it is used . The grammar set this example :

O futuro simples é usado para :
Prever fatos e acontecimentos ......
Indicar desisões tomadas no moneto da fala....
Oferecer ajuda ou fazer um pedido.
Dad , will you land me the car ?

Here is my doubt . In this case above in blue , isn't will  being used as a modal verb ? If so, it can't be considered  simple future , right ?Is the grammar correct ?
