- 1we will / we shall 的縮寫,用來講未來要做的事;口語幾乎都用縮寫,講全 we will 反而是在加重語氣。發音跟 wheel 一樣
we'll is the short form of 'we will' — and sometimes of 'we shall', though almost nobody uses 'shall' this way now outside of formal British English. It is used for the future: what we are going to do, what we predict, what we promise or agree to. 'We'll call you tomorrow.' 'We'll be late.' 'We'll see.' In speech, English speakers use the short form nearly all the time; saying 'we will' in full puts heavy stress on the will, which makes it sound like or a firm promise — 'We WILL finish this today.' So the short form is normal and the long form is the marked one. In writing, use we'll in emails, messages and anything friendly; keep 'we will' for formal writing like reports and contracts. Say it as one syllable, /wiːl/ — it sounds the same as 'wheel'.
組成we + 'll, a squeezed form of will (or shall). The apostrophe marks the letters that dropped out — wi- of will.

We'll soon be in t' tunnel, and when we get to t' other end we'll be in Yorkshire," and "Ah think this is t' filthiest tunnel in t' world."
