1. 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.
