Using Contractions in English Speaking and Writing
Learning to use contractions like I've (meaning I have) or isn't (meaning is not) can enhance your fluency and naturalness in English. Contractions, such as I've, shorten words like have, making speech sound more casual and familiar. They are commonly used in spoken language and informal writing, denoted by an apostrophe to indicate missing letters. For example, 'we've' stands for 'we have.' Mastering contractions contributes to smoother communication in English.
