  1. a contraction is a combination of 2 words and the apostrophe goes where the missing letter is; ex:

    didn't (did not)

    wouldn't (would not)

    don't (do not)

    shouldn't (should not)


  2. Shouldn't:

    Should not

  3. can't

    won't

    don't

    doesn't

  4. is not  =  isn't

    are not  =  aren't

    was not  =  wasn't

    were not  =  weren't

    have not  =  haven't

    has not  =  hasn't

    had not  =  hadn't

    will not  =  won't

    would not  =  wouldn't

    do not  =  don't

    does not  =  doesn't

    did not  =  didn't

    cannot  =  can't

    could not  =  couldn't

    should not  =  shouldn't

    might not  =  mightn't

    must not  =  mustn't

    she would have  =  she'd've

    it is not  =  'tisn't

    should have  =  should've

    could have  =  could've

    might have  =  might've

    must have  =  must've


  5. didn't would be a contraction.

    wouldn't would be a contraction.

    Shouldn't couldn't, should've, could've.

    Does that give you an idea?

  6. can not - can't

    do not - don't

    I will - I'll

    A contraction is a way of putting two words together to make one word, and the apostrophe takes the place of the missing letters.

  7. I'm (I am), can't (cannot), how's (how is), and Ma'am (Madam),

    For example, "don't" is a contraction that is short for "do not"; the apostrophe in "don't" takes the place of the missing "o". Another example is "o'clock," a contraction "of the clock." A less common example of a contraction is "jack-o'-lantern," short for "jack-of-lantern"; in it, the apostrophe takes the place of the missing "f" in "of."

    doesn't

    isn't

    and etc
