334. More Contractions With Pronouns

Sometimes we make contractions with pronouns and the helping verb will. When you push the two words together, the letters wi get bumped out. Contractions with will look like this:
I will = I’ll
you will = you’ll
we will = we’ll
they will = they’ll

Here is how we use these contractions in sentences:
I will help you. I’ll help you.
I hope you will be on time. I hope you’ll be on time.
We will bring the drinks. We’ll bring the drinks.

We also make contractions with the helping verb have. When we push the two words together, ha gets bumped out. Contractions with have look like this:
I have = I’ve
you have = you’ve
we have = we’ve
they have = they’ve

Here are some sentence examples:
I have often traveled by train. I’ve often traveled by train.
We have brought some friends. We’ve brought some friends.
They have bought a new house. They’ve bought a new house.

We can make contractions by joining pronouns with the helping verbs will and have.
