  1. In contractions, the apostrophe (‘) indicates that a letter (or letters) has been omitted. The most common contractions are those that combine a pronoun and a verb (she’s, you’re. they’re, etc.) or a verb and the word not (don’t, wouldn’t, won’t, and so on) Rewrite the following sentences using contractions where possible: Jake is the loveliest guy I ever met. I will not go to the party unless you come with me. We are happy to see you. I cannot believe how fat that cat has gotten. Jean had not prepared for Alice’s departure. You should not stay out all night before an exam. Andrew did not stay long at the restaurant. I have not had time to study.
