Contractions

Today in class we studied contractions.

A contraction is two words that are put together to make one work. Some of the letters drop out of the second word when the words are joined. An apostrophe takes the place of the dropped letters.

Contractions - Two words contracted together.
An APOSTROPHE   is used to join the words.
