What is the difference between the contractions in Column I and those in Column II?

Column I       Column II
I'd                       I'm
I'll                       He's
He'd                    She'd
We'll                   She'll
We've                  You've
 
Answer:
 
The contractions in Column I, when pronounced, have homophones. Those in Column II do not:
 
I'd - Eyed
I'll - Isle or aisle
He'd - Heed
We'll - Wheel
We've - Weave
