Do you know what a contraction is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my school is weaird

OpenStudy (natasha18):

Contractions are words that are combined like 'they are' would be combined to make 'they're'

jabez177 (jabez177):

A contraction is words like Can't or It's. They mean something. Like It's means "It is." Can you think what "Can't" means?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (natasha18):

A dead giveaway is that they always have an apostrophe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so C

OpenStudy (natasha18):

But not every word that has an apostrophe is a contraction. But every contraction does have an apostrophe. Hope I helped ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (natasha18):

Correct!

OpenStudy (natasha18):
