Contractions

A contraction is a shortened form of a word or group of words, created by omitting certain letters and sounds.

'Hasn't' is a contraction for 'has not'.

'She'll' is a contraction for 'she will'.

'He's' is a contraction for 'he is'.

'Didn't' is a contraction for 'did not'.

'Isn't' is a contraction for 'is not'.

To form a contraction, combine two words and replace the omitted letters with an apostrophe.

An example is 'they'll', which stands for 'they will'.

The contraction for 'you are' is 'you're'.

'Won't' is a contraction for 'will not'.
