Apostrophes
To Show Contraction
When you join two
words together, use
an apostrophe to
show where the
letter(s) have been
removed
*Contractions should
not be used in formal
writing.
I have = I’ve
Does not = doesn’t
He has/is = He’s
It is/has = It’s
Could have = could’ve
Do not = don’t
Are not = aren’t
