I'd the house to myself Is this incorrect?

Question

"I'd the house to myself." Since "I'd" can be a contraction of I had, would it work in this case for "I had the house to myself?"

Answer 1

Another opinion:

In my experience, "I'd" is most often seen as a contraction of I would. Compare this to "I'll", meaning I will.

The usage is either future or conditional, and normally involves another verb

Examples:

I'll go to the store = I will go to the store

If I had a car, I'd have gone to the store = ...I would have gone....

In the above example, we can see how "I had" could become "I'd"----as in "If I'd a car". In my experience this is not considered good grammar.

Answer 2

Yes this would work.
