What you practice

These are the Grade 2 Contractions skills this quiz is built around.

  • Match a contraction to the two words it stands for.
  • Place the apostrophe where letters were dropped, as in don't for do not.
  • Tell don't from possessive words that also use an apostrophe.

A useful tip

The apostrophe replaces missing letters. In don't, the o in not is the letter that came out, so the mark sits between n and t.
