|| CONTRACTION-2 ||
Contraction means shortening. When two words combined with an apostrophe, it is known as contraction.
Contraction is part of our language - written as well as spoken.
These are some more examples of contraction:
| I will |
|
I shall | |||
| we shall |
|
we will | |||
| you will |
|
you shall | |||
| they shall |
|
they will | |||
| who will |
|
who shall |
Do you know that "ain't" is a short form of am not, is not, are not, has not, or have not.
Do you know that "ma'am" is a short for "madam". Would you call it a contraction?
Is there any short form or contraction for "may not", like "mayn't"? I don't think so.
