I'll solve this worksheet on contractions by adding the correct apostrophes to each sentence.
Let me go through each sentence one by one:
1. "She wouldnt go to the doctor when she was sick."
- This should be "wouldn't" (would not)
2. "Her legs couldnt lift anymore."
- This should be "couldn't" (could not)
3. "Thats where she will live now."
- This should be "That's" (That is)
4. "John said that shell never work again."
- This should be "she'll" (she will)
5. "Tim's team shouldnt have traded him."
- This should be "shouldn't" (should not)
- Note: "Tim's" is already correctly punctuated as a possessive
6. "Youll be the next Messi if you keep training."
- This should be "You'll" (You will)
7. "Youre so silly sometimes," said his teacher.
- This should be "You're" (You are)
8. "Theyre not normal children."
- This should be "They're" (They are)
9. "Wheres my car?" asked Paul.
- This should be "Where's" (Where is)
10. "Cant you help us?" she asked.
- This should be "Can't" (Cannot)
Here are the corrected sentences with apostrophes added:
1. She wouldn't go to the doctor when she was sick.
2. Her legs couldn't lift anymore.
3. That's where she will live now.
4. John said that she'll never work again.
5. Tim's team shouldn't have traded him.
6. You'll be the next Messi if you keep training.
7. "You're so silly sometimes," said his teacher.
8. They're not normal children.
9. "Where's my car?" asked Paul.
10. "Can't you help us?" she asked.
The task was to add apostrophes to form proper contractions, which I've done for each sentence. Contractions are shortened forms of words where letters are omitted and replaced with an apostrophe.
