What to Focus On

  • Short forms are also called contractions.
  • An apostrophe (') shows where letters are missing.
  • They are used in speaking and informal writing.
  • I am = I’m
  • He is = He’s
  • She is = She’s
  • is not = isn’t
  • are not = aren’t
  • do not = don’t

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Short forms like 'he’s' always mean 'he is'.

'They’re' and 'their' mean the same thing.

Short forms can be used in all types of writing, including formal letters.

Memory Tips

I am = I’m

he is = he’s

she is = she’s

we are = we’re
