ontractions of ‘will’and ‘would’ will 和would的縮寫形式
●非正式英語常把will和would縮寫成‘II和’d, 但在書面語里這種形式只能跟在人稱代詞后面。
They will help you "They’ll help you.
I would love to visit you. "I’d love to visit you.
主語不是人稱代詞時，will和would 不能用縮略形式。
MY car will be ready soon.
Romewould被彈劾萍兒豐產田place通meet
在口語里，可以把car will和Rome would讀成car’ll(/k'A:rl)和Rome’d (r'oumEd),但絕對不能把它們寫成car’ll和Rome’d.
●I’ll和d不能用在句末。
Will you go there? –Yes, I’ll go tomorrow.
Will you go there? –Yes, I will. –Yes, I’ll(X).

●當主語和動詞已經以縮寫形式連在一起的時候，not 就不能縮寫成n’t.
例如，they have not可以縮寫成they’ve not 或者they have’t 介不能縮寫成thedy’ven’t
●不要把I am not縮寫成I amn’t, 而要縮寫成I’m not.
●疑問句里通常把am I not縮寫成aren’t I. I’m your favourite son, aren’t I? 我是你最寵愛的兒子，不是嗎？
●否定疑問句通常把not縮寫成n’t，加在疑問句開頭的動詞后。
Haven’t they completed the work yet?他們還沒有完成這項工作嗎？
Wheren’t they properly prepared?他們還沒有準備好嗎？
在鄭重的英語（書面語或口語）里，否定疑問句里的not要放在主語后。
Have they not completed the work yet? Where they not properly prepared?
