📝 Explanation:

- Contractions are shortened forms of words or phrases, usually created by combining two words and replacing omitted letters with an apostrophe (`'`).
- For example, "don't" = do + not, where the o is dropped and replaced with an apostrophe.
- Some contractions like "he's" or "I'd" can have multiple meanings depending on context:
- he's = he is / he has
- I'd = I would / I had
- But in basic grammar worksheets, we often use the most common interpretation unless specified.
