How to spell i'll

What it means: A contraction for 'I will'.

In a sentence: I'll paint a picture with lots of bright colors! ▶

The part people get wrong

Watch for double l, and an unstressed vowel that is hard to hear.

Same family: I will, you'll, we'll, they'll, he'll. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “I'll” is a contraction formed by shortening “I will” and adding an apostrophe, a pattern that became common in English writing by the 17th century. The apostrophe marks the missing letters from “will,” making speech faster and more natural in everyday conversation.
