Now, let's go through each item and write the correct contraction:

1. I have → I've
2. We are → We're
3. They are → They're
4. She is → She's
5. Can not → Can't
6. He is → He's
7. Did not → Didn't
8. Are not → Aren't
9. She will → She'll
10. They will → They'll
11. They would → They'd
12. You would → You'd
13. There is → There's
14. Should not → Shouldn't
15. That is → That's
16. There is → There's *(same as #13)*
17. You have → You've
18. She has → She's
19. Where is → Where's
20. You will → You'll

📝 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.
