Kumpulan Contraction (Singkatan) Dalam Bahasa Inggris

Contraction (Kontraksi) adalah bentuk singkat dari kelompok kata yang biasanya ditandai dengan apostrophe (apostrof). Secara utuh Contraction bisa diartikan sebagai suku kata atau kelompok kata yang telah diringkas menjadi satu yang dibentuk dengan memasukkan apostrof untuk menggantikan salah satu huruf. Contraction pada umumnya digunakan dalam pidato, percakapan sehari-hari, tulisan informal (tulisan harian) dan lain-lain. Berikut saya akan berikan beberapa List of Contraction lengkap dengan contoh.

 Kadang-kadang dalam berbagai situasi (writing or speaking) kita sering memperpendek kata. Sebagai contoh, she’s bukan she is, atau they’re bukan they are. Kata-kata ini disebut kontraksi. Berikut ini adalah daftar Contraction dari A sampai Z yang umum digunakan dalam bahasa Inggris.
