Surely I will.

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

This phrase is a complete sentence where 'surely' is used as an adverb to emphasize the speaker's intention.

Examples:

  • Surely I will help you with your project.
  • Surely I will attend the meeting tomorrow.
  • Surely I will finish the task on time.

Alternatives:

  • Definitely I will.
  • Certainly I will.
  • I will surely do.
  • I will definitely do.
  • I will certainly do.

I'll surely do.

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

In this phrase, 'surely' is placed before the main verb 'do' to emphasize the action being done.

Examples:

  • I'll surely do my best to help you.
  • I'll surely do what you asked for.
  • I'll surely do the dishes after dinner.

Alternatives:

  • I'll definitely do.
  • I'll certainly do.
  • Surely I'll do.
  • Definitely I'll do.
  • Certainly I'll do.
Both phrases are correct, but they have slightly different structures. 'Surely I will.' is a complete sentence where 'surely' is used as an adverb to emphasize the speaker's intention. 'I'll surely do.' is also correct, but here 'surely' is placed before the main verb 'do' to emphasize the action being done. The choice between the two depends on the emphasis the speaker wants to convey.
