Difference between well and we'll

Am I right? We'll is the conjunction of we will. What about well. I know it is used in wishing someone to get well. Could anybody else think of anymore? Let's brainstorm.
  

Top answer

As an adverb, "well" describes how something is done ("she sings well"). As an interjection, it opens a sentence to signal a pause or feeling ("Well, let's see") and adds no grammatical meaning — remove it and the sentence still works.

Editor's note

Adverb: answers 'how?' — 'she sings well'.

Interjection: sentence opener + comma — 'Well, let's see.'

Bonus adjective: 'I'm well' = healthy.

Removable without breaking the sentence → it was the interjection.

Adverb — describes how something is done: "She sings well." "The plan worked well." (It answers "how?")

Interjection — a sentence opener that signals a pause, hesitation or transition, always followed by a comma: "Well, let's see." "Well, that was unexpected!" (It carries feeling
