📝 Tips for Remembering Contractions:
- Look for common word pairs: *I am*, *you are*, *he is*, *she will*, etc.
- The apostrophe replaces the missing letters.
- Some contractions like
"She's" can mean
"She is" or
"She has", depending on context — but in this case, both are valid based on the original phrase.
This exercise helps students practice recognizing and forming common contractions used in everyday English.
