Contractions in writings
Often I ask my self if I'm making a 'mistake' when I contract verbs while I'm writing.
As an example: "I will" -> "I'll"
Should you contract verbs in writings? Is it right? Or it is a mistake?
Thanks,

Hello, Powerful, welcome to the Forums! It's perfectly OK to use the contractions in speech and in everyday writing, but I wouldn't advise them in more formal letters, or in homework, essays etc... unless your teacher tells you you can use them.
