Contractions

Page history last edited by Doretta Lambert 14 years, 2 months ago

A contraction is a word formed from more than one word with some letters or sounds omitted.  It is important to place the apostrophe in the correct position.  Watch the spelling!

Examples:  I'm   We're   You've

 

Practice here:

Now, it's your turn! 

Type contractions like this, then type a complete sentence using it.

you + will = you'll

You'll want to take your umbrella with you today.
