won't is also commonly used to say that someone is refusing to do something.
John refuses to/won't tell me (it). Juan se niega a decírmelo.

Croatalito....
Won't is the contraction of will not. You know what a contraction is, right? So instead of saying..... I will not go to the store for you. You can say........... I won't go to the store for you.

I don't know what you mean but when you write a contraction like "won't", you must type the apostrophe.

Yes, "won't," with the apostrophe, is correct. In my post, I equated the misspelled "wont" to the correctly punctuated "won't."

Thank you Rusty.
Therefore that is the same, won't and wont without the apostrophe, they are spelling of the same form. I appreciate your help.

I realized something reading the replies. I'll give you examples. "John said he won't" John said he will not. "Wont you do that for me?" Will you not do that for me? You use wont when the contraction is broken up. But you can say, "Won't you do that for me?" "Will not you do that for me? old english style* .. I hope.. I would :P God Bless Last edited by JosephThomas; December 13, 2010 at 10:28 AM. |
