Welcome to today’s English lesson! Have you ever noticed how native speakers often combine two words into one when they speak? These shortened forms are called contractions, and they are a key part of natural, everyday English.

In this lesson, we will:

  • Learn what contractions are and why they are used.

  • Explore common contractions like I’m, don’t, you’ll, and won’t.

  • Practice recognizing and using contractions in sentences.

Using contractions correctly will help your English sound more fluent and conversational. Let’s get started!
