    Shortened Words

    Sometimes, we join two words together to make


    them shorter.

    We call these contractions.

    In today’s lesson, we will learn some rules for using


    contractions correctly.
    I am
    If ‘I’ is one of the words in the contraction, the ‘I’ must be
    a capital letter.

    When shortening ‘am’ with ‘I’, remove the ‘a’ and replace
    it with an apostrophe.

    I am

    =
    I’m
    Are
    If ‘are’ is one of the words in the contraction, remove the
    ‘a’ and replace it with an apostrophe.

    we are you are they are

    = = =
    we’re you’re they’re
    Is
    If ‘is’ is one of the words in the contraction, remove the ‘i’
    and replace it with an apostrophe.

    he is she is it is that is

    = = = =
    he’s she’s it’s that’s
    Will
    If ‘will’ is one of the words in the contraction, remove the
    ‘w’ and the ‘i’ and replace them both with an apostrophe.

    I will you will he will she will

    = = = =
    I’ll you’ll he’ll she’ll

    it will we will they will

    = = =
    it’ll we’ll they’ll
    Has
    If ‘has’ is one of the words in the contraction, remove the ‘h’ and the ‘a’
    and replace them both with an apostrophe.

    she has he has it has that has

    = = = =
    she’s he’s it’s that’s
    Had
    If ‘had’ is one of the words in the contraction, remove the ‘h’ and the ‘a’
    and replace them both with an apostrophe.

    I had you had she had

    = = =
    I’d you’d she’d

    he had they had we had

    = = =
    he’d they’d we’d
    Have
    If ‘have’ is one of the words in the contraction, remove the ‘h’ and the
    ‘a’ and replace them both with an apostrophe.

    I have you have we have they have

    = = = =
    I’ve you’ve we’ve they’ve
    Not
    If ‘not’ is one of the words in the contraction, remove the ‘o’ and replace
    it with an apostrophe.

    could not do not does not had not

    = = = =
    couldn’t don’t doesn’t hadn’t

    have not is not should not would not

    = = = =
    haven’t isn’t shouldn’t wouldn’t

    But watch out! can not = can’t (remove one n) will not = won’t
