The Future Tense with "Will".

"The Two Mannequins" by Giorgio de Chirico, 1915

For the future time, you can use "going to" or "will".
When you use "will", you can use a contraction between the subject pronoun and "will". Sometimes, the sound of the contraction sounds like another word. When two words sound the same but are spelled differently and have a different meaning, they are called "homonyms"

I will = I'll - homonym: "aisle" row in a supermarket or church.
He will = He'll - homonym: "heel" back of the shoe or foot.
She will = She'll - sounds like "shield" without the "d"
It will = It'll - sounds like "little" without the "l"
You will = You'll - homonym: "Yule" an older word for "Christmas"
We will = We'll - homonym: "wheel" round object for a car.
They will = They'll - rhymes with "fail", "sail", but use "th"

No, but I'll fix it tomorrow.
