Focus: Contractions of words
Practise and learn these words for a test next week. Take care – most are contractions (where two words are ‘squashed together’ like ‘i‘ = do not). However, there are a few that sound like contractions, but aren’t (like ‘your‘ and ‘you’re‘).
- don’t
- can’t
- doesn’t
- wouldn’t
- couldn’t
- shouldn’t
- your
- you’re
- there
- their
- they’re
- she’s
Some examples…
- Put your coat on or you’re going to be cold when you go outside.
- They’re going for a walk.
- The children put on their shoes.
- Put the pencils over there.
