The apostrophe in contractions replaces the letter or letters we omit (take out) of a word to make the contraction.
Most contractions are formed with (a verb) plus the word not, for example, is not becomes isn't. We leave the 'o' in not out to make the contraction. The apostrophe stands in place of the 'o', so everyone knows it should be "is not" for "isn't".
