You may find that you want to use a contraction of words in your writing. Below is a short list of some common contractions. (For a more complete list of contractions visit this site: http://edhelper.com/Contractions3103.htm.)
it is = it's
I am = I'm
they are = they're
do not = don't
does not = doesn't
would not = wouldn't
Some writing experts say that you should not use contractions in your formal writing. However, if you can use them correctly, you don't need to avoid them! Notice that all contractions need the apostrophe used.
How well do you know your contractions? Try this Quia game to test your skills! Come back to the blog after you complete the game and write two sentences. First, tell us how you did. Next, correctly write a sentence using a contraction.
