V. Contracted Forms
When we speak, we use ‘contracted forms’ or short forms such as these :
can’t (for can not or cannot)
I’d (for I would or I had)
she’s (for she is)
Notice that contracted forms are also written with an apostrophe to show a shortening of the spelling of not, would, or is as in the above example. Writing a diary is like speaking to oneself. Plays (and often, novels) also have speech in written form. So we usually come across contracted forms in diaries, plays and novels.
Make a list of the contracted forms in the text. Rewrite them as full forms of two words.
For example :
I’ve = I have
I’ve = I have Doesn’t = Does not
I’m = I am Won’t = Will not
Don’t = Do not Can’t = Can not
That’s = That is I’d = I would
Didn’t = Did not Who’ll = Who will
It’s = It is You’re = You are
We’ll = We will
