A contraction is a word that has been shortened from two or more words. The contraction is indicated by an apostrophereplacing the missing letters.
Examples:
A possessive noun is a noun indicated by an apostrophe s ('s) added to the end of the word, or just an apostrophe (') added to the end of a plural noun that ends with an s. A possessive noun is a noun indicating ownership, possession, purpose, or origin.
Example:
No, the word o'clock is a contraction, a shortened for of the prepositional phrase 'of the clock'. The apostrophe in a contraction takes the place of the missing letters.
Not without an apostrophe.The spelling its is a possessive adjective. E.g. We saw a cat and its kittens.(As a possessive pronoun, it would be unwieldy)The spelling it's is a contraction of the words "it is" or "it has."E.g.It's a long walk to town. (it is)It's been two weeks since the storm. (it has)His temper is bad, and it's gotten him into trouble. (it has)
No, you've is a contraction. You've is a combination of 'you have' and acts as the subject and verb (or auxiliary verb) in a sentence or phrase.
There is no contraction. The contraction she'd can mean she had or she would.
Isotonic contraction
The homophone for the contraction it's (it is) is its, the possessive pronoun, possessive adjective form of the personal pronoun it.Examples:I think it's time to go.The dog has hurt its paw.You may be referring to the possessive pronoun its and the contraction it's.The possessive form of the personal pronoun it is its.The contraction for the subject pronoun it and the verb is is it's.Examples:The dog is wagging its tail.It's a friendly dog. (It is a friendly dog.)
The form "somebody's" may be a possessive form or a contraction, depending on use.Examples:I found sombody's watch in the restroom. (possessive, a watch belonging to somebody)Somebody's ringing the doorbell. (contraction for "sombody is")
The word he's is a singular contraction, not a possessive form.The contraction he's is a shortened form of the pronoun 'he' and the verb 'is'.The contraction he's functions as a subject and verb (or auxiliary verb) in a sentence or a clause.The possessive form of the personal pronoun he is his.Pronouns that function as possessives do not use an apostrophe.Examples:He is my brother. Or: He's my brother. (contraction)The house on the corner is his. (possessive pronoun)His house is on the corner. (possessive adjective)
The contraction there's means "there is." it may be mistaken for the homophone theirs, a possessive pronoun.
The proper noun form Jon's may be a contraction, or it may be a possessive noun. The contraction can mean "Jon is" or "Jon has."Jon's missing - Jon is missing (contraction)Jon's left town - Jon has left town (contraction)Jon's been married twice - Jon has been married twice (contraction)Jon's car will not start. (possessive, his car)Jon's success came at a price (possessive, his success)
No. The spelling "your" is a possessive adjective (pronoun form).The homophone "you're" is a contraction, meaning "you are."
"you're" is a homophone for the possessive pronoun "your."
The singular possessive form of the noun "it" is "its". Note that there is no apostrophe in the possessive form of "it". The apostrophe is only used after "it" when used as a contraction of "it is".
"your" is a possessive adjective. "you're" is a contraction.
No, "she's" stands for she is. The singular possessive noun for a female is her or hers.
The word "he's" is a contraction of the words he is. The possessive would be his.The plural of he is "they", and the contraction of they are is they're.The possessive for they would be their.
The contraction who's (who is) is pronounced the same as the possessive pronoun whose. Because who's has an apostrophe, it can be mistaken as a possessive form. But whose is used as an adjective, typically before nouns.
