✔ Understanding Contractions:

Contractions are shortened forms of two words, usually joined with an apostrophe (`'`) to replace omitted letters.

For example:
- "she would" → she'd
- "should have" → should've

We’ll go through each pair and find the correct match.

🟩 Left Column (Original Two Words) → 🔵 Right Column (Contraction)

1. she would/had → she'd
- "she would" = she'd
- "she had" = she'd
→ So she'd is correct.

2. should have → should've
- Already shown in the image as matched → ✔️ Correct

3. that is/has → that's
- "that is" = that's
- "that has" = that's
→ So that's is correct.

4. that will → that'll
- "that will" = that'll
→ Match: that'll

5. that would/had → that'd
- "that would" = that'd
- "that had" = that'd
→ Match: that'd

6. there have → there've
- "there have" = there've
→ Match: there've

7. there is/has → there's
- "there is" = there's
- "there has" = there's
→ Match: there's

8. there will → there'll
- "there will" = there'll
→ Match: there'll

9. there would/had → there'd
