Contractions
Contractions involve shortening words by omitting some letters, often marked by an apostrophe. While some contractions form single words with omitted letters, most combine two or more words. Contractions differ from compound words because they don’t retain the full words they are formed from, replacing letters with apostrophes.
Examples: Contractions
- C’mon, let’s go! [let us]: An informal contraction urging someone to hurry.
- It’s hard for me [it is]: An example of the contraction “it’s” for “it is”.
