Contractions are distinguished by use of an apostrophe in place of the missing letters. For example:

The verbs used in contractions are forms of the verb to be.

The pronouns used in contractions are subjective personal pronouns.

Examples:

I am = I'm

I have = I've

I will = I'll

I would = I'd

we are = we're

we have = we've

we will = we'll

we would = we'd

you are = you're

you have = you've

you will = you'll

you would = you'd

he is = he's

she has = she's

it will = it'll

they are = they're

they have = they've

they will = they'll

they would = they'd

Some pronouns are plural eg we they and some verbs have plural forms eg are were. So when you are you are writing/speaking your pronouns and verbs should agree

Some examples:

We is having a holiday - in this sentence the pronoun and verb do not agree. The pronoun (we) is plural but the verb (is) is singular. This sentence is correct - We are having a holiday.

She are happy - this sentence the pronoun (she) is singular but the verb (are) is plural so the subject and verb do notagree.

Another situation where subject verb agreement is important is in present sentences that have he/she/it or a singular noun as subject. In these sentences the verb must have an -s added eg walks talks eats eg

She learns the piano.. He walks to school. It eats anything. (he/she/it as subject)

The teacher likes ice cream. (a singular noun subject)

They walks to school. - this is not correct, they is a plural subject

A pronoun contraction is a contraction that is a shortened form of a pronoun and a verb (or auxiliary verb). A pronoun contraction functions as the subject and verb (or auxiliary verb) of a sentence or a clause. Examples:

  • it is = it's
  • I am = I'm
  • we will = we'll
  • he would = he'd
  • they are = they're

Example sentence: It's eight-ten and I'm late for work. They'll dock my pay this time.
