[ Contractions]
ln English there are a number of contractions of words which are
used in speech, and in wriring which reproduces spoken language, for
ex ample drama, direct speech in navels and short stories, personal
letters. It is important that the Icarner should Icarn and make use of
these contracted forms if he n'auts his cnglish ta sound lIarural.
When contractions are writren, the t\Va words are shortened by
omitting onc or tn'a Ictters and joining the words together.
The letters rhat are omitted are represented by an apostrophe (')
when contractions arc spoken, the tn'a words are shortened by
omitting sante sounds and pronouucing the t\l'a words as one.
