Contraction Types

Contraction types refer to how words are combined to form shorter versions, often by removing certain letters and replacing them with an apostrophe. Common types include those formed from auxiliary verbs (like "I am" becoming "I'm") and negative words (like "do not" becoming "don't"). Contractions can also occur with pronouns (like "she is" to "she's") and other combinations. They help make speech and writing sound more natural and conversational, while also saving space. Understanding contraction types helps in recognizing and using them correctly across different contexts.
