Contractions are shortened forms of words that are commonly used in English. They are created by combining two words and removing some letters and replacing them with an apostrophe. Contractions are widely used in spoken English, informal writing, and messaging. They make communication more natural and fluent, and they help speakers and writers to convey their messages more effectively. In this article, we will explore the usage of contractions in English and how they affect communication.
