📚 Rules to Remember • Week 19

Rule 1 • What is a Contraction?

Two words joined together with an apostrophe replacing the omitted letters (I + will = I'll, were + not = weren't).

Rule 2 • <its> vs. <it's>

it's = contraction for "it is" or "it has"; its = possessive pronoun showing ownership with NO apostrophe!

Rule 3 • Negative Contractions

The contraction for not is n't (can't, don't, didn't, doesn't, haven't).

Rule 4 • Homophone Clarity

Distinguish it's/its, they're/their/there, and you're/your.
