Contractions

You can use apostrophes to show that you have omitted (left out) some letters when you are joining words together.

Sometimes, however, you need to rearrange the letters a bit when you contract the words. For example: will + not = won't.
Using contractions like these makes your writing easier to read and more friendly. Look at the link below for a video and an online activity.
