Las contracciones en inglés

Post by Explorer »

Las contracciones, también llamadas “formas cortas”, normalmente combinan un pronombre (I, you, he, she, etc.) y un verbo auxiliar, o un verbo + “not”. Se usan en conversaciones cotidianas y en la escritura informal.

Las contracciones se escriben con apóstrofes (), que generalmente reemplazan a letras que han sido omitidas.


Veamos las contracciones afirmativas más comunes en inglés:
