Browse our collection of contraction worksheets, activities and games aimed at helping students correctly use apostrophes for contractions. Contractions are common in spoken English and informal writing. A contraction is a shortened or abbreviated form of a word or phrase. For example: ‘I will’ can be shortened to form the contraction ‘I’ll’. Apostrophes are used to replace the missing letter/s.
