📝 Notes:
- Some contractions like
"What've" and
"Mightn't" are less commonly used in everyday speech, but they are grammatically correct.
-
"He's" can mean either "He is" or "He has", so context matters, but both #13 and #14 use the same contraction.
This worksheet helps students practice forming contractions, which improves fluency and writing skills. Great job on completing it! 😊
