?What Are Contractions
A contraction is a shortened version of the written and spoken forms of a word, syllable, or word group, created by omission of internal letters and sounds, i.e. I will = I’ll; can not = can’t
Such two-word contractions are commonly used in spoken English
They are like reductions of words, but also have omissions of vowels, consonants or both and are linked to the words on one or both sides
