To find the contractions in each sentence, we need to look for words that are shortened forms of two words combined. These usually have an apostrophe (') where letters are missing.
Here is the step-by-step check for each sentence:
1.
Sentence: She isn't coming with us today.
* Look for a word with an apostrophe.
* Found:
isn't (short for "is not").
2.
Sentence: You're going to have your first quiz tomorrow.
* Look for a word with an apostrophe.
* Found:
You're (short for "You are"). Note: "your" does not have an apostrophe, so it is not a contraction here.
3.
Sentence: We hadn't picked the winner yet.
* Look for a word with an apostrophe.
* Found:
hadn't (short for "had not").
4.
Sentence: Why's he sitting way over there?
* Look for a word with an apostrophe.
* Found:
Why's (short for "Why is").
5.
Sentence: That's not funny anymore.
* Look for a word with an apostrophe.
* Found:
That's (short for "That is").
6.
Sentence: Jason couldn't finish his homework because he was sick.
* Look for a word with an apostrophe.
* Found:
couldn't (short for "could not").
7.
Sentence: I know there's a faster way to get to school.
* Look for a word with an apostrophe.
* Found:
there's (short for "there is").
8.
Sentence: Who's going to speak first tonight?
* Look for a word with an apostrophe.
* Found:
Who's (short for "Who is").
9.
Sentence: Here's the soccer team.
* Look for a word with an apostrophe.
* Found:
Here's (short for "Here is").
10.
Sentence: I'll give you something tomorrow.

I'll (short for "I will").
