Will plus contraction
Hi Everyone,
This is a very basic question, but I need to check nonetheless.
Do these sentences look right:
Brendon'll drive tonight. or
Sarah'll cook dinner.
I don't know why it looks odd, but it does to me.
These look OK:
He'll drive tonight, or
She'll cook dinner.
What do others think about this?
Thanks,
CC

0Brendon'll drive tonight. Contractions like this are very common in speaking but less common in writing.
Sarah'll cook dinner. Because Sarah ends with a vowel sound and 'll starts with a vowel sound, it is hard for me to say these two vowel sounds close together, one after the other. For this reason, I'd usually just avoid the contraction.
eg I
