- 've = "have" or "has" (e.g., I've, she's)
- 're = "are" (e.g., we're, they're)
- 'll = "will" (e.g., she'll, you'll)
- 'd = "would" or "had" (e.g., they'd, you'd)
- 's = "is", "has", or "was" (e.g., he's, that's, she's)
- 'n't = "not" (e.g., can't, shouldn't, didn't)

Note: Some contractions look similar but mean different things depending on context (e.g., "she's" could be "she is" or "she has").
