Do you know what contractions are? English speakers sometime ‘squash’ two words together. When we write these words, we use an apostrophe to show where letters and/or sounds have been ‘squashed out’ of a word. For example, ‘they are’ becomes ‘they’re’. The apostrophe represents the missing ‘a’ from ‘are’. Here are some more contractions for you to learn. Can you spot the double contraction? ⁣ ⁣ Does punctuation matter?
