Contractions with I, you, he, she, it, we, and they ’m = am (I’m) ’re = are (you’re, we’re, they’re) ’s = is and has (he’s, she’s, it’s) ’ve = have (I’ve, you’ve, we’ve, they’ve) ’ll = will (I’ll, you’ll, he’ll, she’ll, it’ll, we’ll, they’ll) ’d = had and would (I’d, you’d, he’d, she’d, it’d, we’d, they’d) Contractions with auxiliary verb and not The contraction for not is n’t: aren’t = are not (we aren’t, you aren’t) can’t = cannot couldn’t = could not didn’t = did not (I didn’t, they didn’t) C.
