Hi guys, kali ini kita akan belajar tentang contraction dalam Bahasa Inggris. Contraction adalah kata-kata dalam bahasa inggris yang dipersingkat dalam penggunaannya.

Positive contraction
Dalam menyingkat beberapa kata menjadi satu biasanya digunakan tanda petik (‘) apostrophe. Tetapi harus diperhatikan sebuah contraction bisa memiliki dua atau tiga makna contohnya he’d bisa bermakna he had atau he would.
