Use the apostrophe in writing contractions. The apostrophe shows that a letter or letters have been omitted. A pronoun and a verb or a verb with the word "not" are the commonest contractions.
Examples:
you are = you're
do not = don't
Some contractions stand for more than one pair of words.
Example:
she is = she's
she has = she's
Three contractions are irregular.
shall not = shan't
will not =
won't
cannot = can't
