Contractions

Posted by Neil Keefe on September 28, 2009

In some contractions, the letter replaced by the apostrophe can be in two different places. The meaning is the same. Use whichever one is easier for you:

The frog isn’t yellow. = The frog’s not yellow.

They aren’t. = They’re not.

We aren’t = We’re not
