When alphabetizing contractions, the words are sorted letter by letter just like any other word and the apostrophe is ignored. The words camp, can't, and cap would be sorted in the order given.

What makes a word a contraction?

A contraction is two words that have been put together into one word. Usually they are known contractions that are accepted as words by themselves. One or more letters have been taken out, and replaced by an apostrophe: for example, I + am = I'm. Some contractions don't make quite that much sense, like won't (will not) and ain't (am not). Contractions are technically optional, but they are so common that it would sound strange if you said, "It is a nice day. It is too bad that we are stuck inside. Let us play a game."

What is the verb form of the word contraction?

A contraction is when two words are made into one, using an apostrophe. For instance, when you say "isn't" instead of "is not." The word "isn't" is a contraction, or shortening, of the words "is" and "not." They don't look a lot shorter in writing, but contractions usually develop in spoken English before they are written. People started saying "isn't" instead of "is not" because it is faster to say. That happens in a lot of languages, and with a lot of words. People start saying them all together, and eventually they become a real word.A contraction is when you combine words using an apostrophe. Do and not becomes don't. I and am becomes I'm. These are contractions.
