1. Apostrophes

Today we are reminding ourselves about using apostrophes.

You can use apostrophes to show that you have omitted (left out) some letters when you are joining words together, these are called contractions.For example, you can join the words ‘you’ and ‘are’ together. You + are = you're. The apostrophe takes the place of the removed letters. In this example, the letter a.

Sometimes, however, you need to rearrange the letters a bit when you contract the words. For example: will + not = won't. Using contractions like these makes your writing easier to read and more friendly.

Watch the two short videos about contractions and can you remember our song ?

You don't need to print it off , in your English book you can write the two words and then write the correct contraction next to them , like this

I have → I've
