Form pronoun-verb contractions
Key Notes:-
Introduction:
Pronoun-verb contractions are short forms of a pronoun and a verb combined together. They make speaking and writing easier and faster.
- What are Pronoun-Verb Contractions?
- A pronoun-verb contraction combines a pronoun (like I, he, she, we) with a verb (like am, is, are) using an apostrophe (’).
- Example: “I am” becomes “I’m.”
- Common Pronoun-Verb Contractions:
- I’m = I am
- Example: “I’m happy.”
- You’re = You are
- Example: “You’re my friend.”
- He’s = He is
- Example: “He’s playing.”
- She’s = She is
- Example: “She’s reading a book.”
- It’s = It is
- Example: “It’s raining.”
- We’re = We are
- Example: “We’re going home.”
- They’re = They are
- Example: “They’re having fun.”
- How to Form Pronoun-Verb Contractions:
- Take the pronoun (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) and the verb (am, is, are).
- Remove some letters from the verb and add an apostrophe where the missing letters were.
- Example:
- “She is” → Remove “i” → “She’s”
- “We are” → Remove “a” → “We’re”
- Using Pronoun-Verb Contractions in Sentences:
- Pronoun-verb contractions make sentences shorter and easier to say.
- Examples:
- “I am a student.” → “I’m a student.”
- “They are excited.” → “They’re excited.”
