I'll and aisle are homophones.
He'll and heel are homophones., and so are we'll and wheel.

Answer the questions using the contractions.

In casual English, Americans also attach will to regular nouns.

Examples:
Be careful! That cat'll bite.
The bus driver'll give you directions.
That famous author'll speak at the university on Wednesday.

Pronunciation tip: If you have learned American T sounds, apply them here too! The 'll sound is just like 'le, there is a soft, neutral vowel before a final L. This means cat'll sounds exactly like cattle.

Answer the questions by attaching 'll to the main noun.

1. When will your relatives visit?

2. When will the kids finish school this year?

3. When will the next president get elected?

4. When will your favorite season start?

5. When will your coworkers finish their project?

The future perfect tense is also used to sound casual. We often use it to describe dreams about the future.

1. What will you be doing next week?

2. What will you be doing during your next vacation?

3. What will you be doing after you retire?

4. Think of your spouse or one of your children. What will he or she be doing soon?
