CONTRACTIONS What are Contractions? A contraction is a special word made by putting together a verb and another word. Every contraction has an apostrophe to show where letters are missing from the original two words. Example: is + not = isn’t Notice that the words are put together but the o is gone. Look at each contraction to see how the words are put together. An apostrophe shows where a letter is missing: were + not = weren’t, was + not = wasn’t , have + not = haven’t, has + not = hasn’t I + am = I’m I + will = I’ll he + is = he’s she + is = she’s it + is = it’s they + are = they’re we + are = we’re you + are = you’re Look at this contraction: can + not = can’t Do you see that two letters are missing?
