A contraction is two words that have been contracted into one word. A contraction is a less formal way of writing. For example, you are would become you’re.
The words for you to practise are:
shouldn’t (should not), couldn’t (could not), won’t (will not), they’ll (they will), you’ll (you will), I’d (I had), you’re (you are), they’re (they are)
These words will be tested on Friday 28th January. Good luck!
