What part of speech is the contraction we're?

Answer 1

"We're" would most likely be used as the subject of a sentence. However, a word's part of speech is determined by its placement and function in a sentence, not by the word itself.

Answer 2

The contraction "we're" is a combination of the pronoun "we" and the verb "are," functioning as a contraction for the present tense of "we are." It is a contraction commonly used in informal speech and writing.
