What are Contractions?
A contraction is a shortened form of two words. We put them together and use an apostrophe ( ' ) to show where letters have been left out. For example, 'do not' becomes 'don't'.
Write the two words that make up each contraction.
1. I'm = I
2. won't = will
3. they're = they
4. doesn't = does
5. we've = we
Choose the correct contraction for the words in bold.
1. He **is** happy.
Hes'
He's
Heis'
He's'
2. We **have** seen that movie.
We've
Weve'
We'have
Wehave'
Read each statement. Circle T for True or F for False.
1. The word 'can't' is a contraction of 'can not'.
True
False
2. An apostrophe in a contraction always replaces the letter 'o'.

False
Rewrite each sentence using a contraction for the underlined words.
1. I _am_ going to the park.
