Apostrophes for Contraction

This week, as part of your homework, you need to use apostrophes for contraction.

An apostrophe looks like a comma, but instead of writing it on the line it's written higher. You should write it in line with the tallest letter.

One of the most common uses of an apostrophe is to show two words joined together, called a contraction.

We use an apostrophe to show where there are letters missing in a contraction.

For example;

I am becomes I'm

Do not becomes don't

We are becomes we're
