Contractions
We use apostrophes in contractions to show that letters have been missed out. You don’t need a car. We’ll arrange for a taxi.
Don’t is the contraction of Do not . We’ll is the contraction of We will.
DA Give support to some students. Work with them in a group finding each place on the map and discussing their relation to the next place. • Explain that we use contractions in everyday speech and informal writing. Ask students to suggest when we might use contractions in writing. ( When we write what people say in stories, in notes, in text messages, emails and other online communication. )
