Long and Short Forms

In spoken English we often use a shortened version of a verb. Instead of " I am" we say, I'm.
"You are" becomes you're and "did not" becomes didn't etc.

• When we write the short form we use an apostrophe (') for the missing letter(s).
• We also use these short forms in informal written English. But remember, when writing in a more formal style (Dear Sir) or when writing an essay, you will need to use the long forms.
• Watch this space for some examples next time.
• Be sure to read them and understand their meaning and spelling because they can be tricky!
