In today's video, you will learn about Contractions that are used commonly in English.
Contractions are shortened forms of words or phrases that are formed by combining two words with the omission of one or more letters or sounds. In English, contractions are commonly used in informal writing and speech to convey a more casual tone.
Here are some examples of contractions:
1. I'm (I am)
2. don't (do not)
3. won't (will not)
4. can't (cannot)
5. shouldn't (should not)
6. wouldn't (would not)
7. it's (it is or it has)
8. that's (that is or that has)
9. he's (he is or he has)
10. she's (she is or she has)
11. I'll (I will or I shall)
12. you'll (you will or you shall)
13. we'll (we will or we shall)
14. they'll (they will or they shall)
15. aren't (are not)
16. wasn't (was not)
17. weren't (were not)
Contractions are often used in:
* Informal writing (text messages, social media, blogs)
* Speech (conversations, presentations)
* Fiction writing (dialogue, narrative)
However, it's important to note that contractions are generally avoided in:
* Formal writing (academic papers, business reports, official documents)
* Technical writing (instructional materials, user manuals)
* Professional communication (emails, letters, resumes).
