To solve this worksheet, we need to turn pairs of words into
contractions. A contraction is a shortened form of two words combined. We usually remove one or more letters and replace them with an apostrophe (').
Here is the step-by-step solution for each item:
1.
I have → Remove the 'h' from have. Result:
I've
2.
We are → Remove the 'a' from are. Result:
We're
3.
They are → Remove the 'a' from are. Result:
They're
4.
She is → Remove the 'i' from is. Result:
She's
5.
Can not → Remove the 'o' from not. Result:
Can't
6.
He is → Remove the 'i' from is. Result:
He's
7.
Did not → Remove the 'o' from not. Result:
Didn't
8.
Are not → Remove the 'o' from not. Result:
Aren't
9.
She will → Remove the 'wi' from will. Result:
She'll
10.
They will → Remove the 'wi' from will. Result:
They'll
11.
They would → Remove the 'wou' from would. Result:
They'd
12.
You would → Remove the 'wou' from would. Result:
You'd
13.
There is → Remove the 'i' from is. Result:
There's
14.
Should not → Remove the 'o' from not. Result:
Shouldn't
15.
That is → Remove the 'i' from is. Result:
That's
16.
There is → Same as #13. Result:
There's
17.
You have → Remove the 'h' from have. Result:
You've
18.
She has → Remove the 'ha' from has. Result:
She's *(Note: "She's" can mean "She is" or "She has")*
19.
