Contractions Quiz

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to help students learn how to create contractions by combining two words using an apostrophe. It lists thirty pairs of words that can be contracted, such as “they are” and “did not”. Students are asked to write the correct contraction for each pair of words in the space provided. The contractions include those with auxiliary verbs and negations, providing a comprehensive practice on the use of apostrophes in contractions.

The worksheet aims to teach students the proper use of apostrophes when forming contractions, which are shortened forms of words or phrases. It helps students understand how an apostrophe can replace omitted letters and how different words are combined to form common contractions used in everyday language. This exercise is intended to improve students’ written communication by familiarizing them with contractions, thus making their writing more natural and efficient. Mastery of contractions will also assist students in recognizing and understanding them in reading.
