  41. When we speak we use contractions. What is a contraction? • A contraction is a word made from two words. Contractions are often used in informal writing and in conversation. **You NEVER use contractions in your FORMAL writing (like a story or writing prompt)!!

  42. Sometimes you can combine a verb with the word not to form a verb contraction. • Use an apostrophe (‘) in place of the letter or letters that have been left out.

  43. Contractions with Verbs Plus the Word not should not shouldn’t would not wouldn’t is not isn’t cannot can’t will not won’t has not hasn’t must not mustn’t were not weren’t
