2. "He'll" - In the contraction "he'll," the pronoun "he" is a proclitic that attaches to the auxiliary verb "will." The proclitic "he" is unstressed and comes before the verb "will" in the sentence "He'll be here soon."
3. "She's" - In the contraction "she's," the pronoun "she" is a proclitic that attaches to the auxiliary verb "is." The proclitic "she" is unstressed and comes before the verb "is" in the sentence "She's a great singer."
