modal verbs - Difference between "won't" and "will not"


What's the differences between won't and will not? Do they have the exact same meaning in all contexts?


If not, I would really appreciate some examples.




Answer



Won't is simply a contraction of the words will not. They have the exact same meaning. Won't is more informal; if you're writing an essay, in most cases you're advised not to use any contractions. Beyond that, there's no reason not to choose whichever you like. More often when speaking, you'll hear won't. So if you're writing dialogue, you might use the contraction to make it sound more natural.
