Form pronoun-verb contractions
Key Notes :
🌟Form Pronoun-Verb Contractions 🌟
| What is a Contraction? 🤔 |
A contraction is when we combine two words into one shorter word by using an apostrophe (’).
It makes speaking and writing faster and easier! 💨✏️
Example:
- do + not → don’t ❌
- I + am → I’m 🙂
| Common Pronoun + Verb Contractions 🧑🏫 |
| Pronoun + Verb | Contraction | Example Sentence |
|---|---|---|
| I + am | I’m | I’m happy 😊 |
| you + are | you’re | You’re my friend 🤝 |
| he + is | he’s | He’s playing ⚽ |
| she + is | she’s | She’s singing 🎤 |
| it + is | it’s | It’s raining 🌧️ |
| we + are | we’re | We’re excited 🎉 |
| they + are | they’re | They’re running 🏃♂️ |
| How to Form Contractions ✨ |
- Combine the pronoun and the verb.
- Remove some letters (usually vowels).
- Add an apostrophe (’) in the place of the missing letters.
Example:
- you + are → you’re
- she + is → she’s
| Tips for Remembering 🤓💡 |
- Apostrophe (’) = “missing letters”
- Contractions = short words for fast talking 🗣️
- Always match the pronoun with the verb ✅
| Fun Practice 🖍️🎨 |
