Contractions and Abbreviations

Sometimes, we shorten or combine words by creating contractions. This is especially common in spoken English.

Usually, to make a contraction, we remove a letter or letters from a word and replace the letter(s) with an apostrophe ('), as in when we shorten "He is feeling ill" to "He's feeling ill."

Some other common contractions include: aren't for are not, can't for cannot, he'll for he will, and won't for will not.

Can you think of any other contractions?
