本课词汇

  • When we make two words into one, we call them contractions:

    could have - could've

    Sometimes we make three words into one. We call these double contractions:

    could not have - couldn't've

    We use apostophes to show where the missing letters were in the new contracted word:

    Single contractionMight not - mightn't

    Double contractionMight nohave - mightn't've

    Here are some common double contractions:

    Could not have - Couldn't've

    Might not have - Mightn't've

    Must not have - Mustn't've

    Cannot have - Can't've

    I would have - I'd've

    You would have - You'd've

    He would have - He'd've

    She would have - She'd've

    We would have - We'd've

    They would have - They'd've
