What is the contracted form?
The contracted form, also known as contractions in English grammar, refers to when a word is made by combining two words together, omitting some letters and replacing them with an apostrophe.

Contractions in English are most commonly used in informal English to convey a friendly and casual tone.




Contracted Form Examples
'Did not' is contracted to 'didn’t'. For instance:

'Thomas did not enjoy his lunch.'

becomes:

'Thomas didn’t enjoy his lunch.'

What do children learn about contractions in English?
Children begin to learn about contracted forms in year 2. The national curriculum says that:

'Pupils should be taught to spell by learning to spell words with contracted forms.'

Teachers may introduce children to contracted forms by talking about two words being 'squashed together', especially when people are talking.

They may use visual cues to represent this, such as by showing two words on one piece of card and then folding it so it becomes one word. They may also point it out to children during reading sessions.
