Contractions are formed when two words are combined to create a shorter word. Examples would be "don't" which is a contraction of the words "do" and "not," the word "can't" which is a contraction of the words "can" and "not," and the word "isn't" which is a contraction of the words "is" and "not." Contractions are considered informal language.
