A contraction is a word formed by bumping two words together and taking out some letters. When we form a contraction with the word is, we take out the letter i.
it is = it’s
that is = that’s
what is = what’s
who is = who’s
there is = there’s
she is = she’s
he is = he’s
Look at these sentence examples:
She is my mother.
She’s my mother.
What is the problem today?
What’s the problem today?
Where is the dog?
Where’s the dog?
Make a contraction with the verb is by taking out the letter i.
It’s your turn. Make a contraction out of there is and then place the contraction in the sentence. blank. I fear ______ a leak in our bathroom pipe. Did you figure it out? Good for you!
