Default Formula to combine text?

Greetings. I need a little help. Is it possible to combine text from to
different cells together with a formula? Example: A1 = My name B1 = is
Will, and I want C1 to say My name is Will. Is this possible? Thanks in
advance for any help.

Read up the function CONCATENATE()

Another way to do the same thing is

=A1&B1

But in either case, you need either a trailing space in A1 or a leading
space in B1 to keep it from reading "My nameis Will"

or, you can do it in the formula, as:

=A1&" "&B1
